Emerging Actuator Technologies: A Micromechatronic Approach

Actuators are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical work, traditionally used in electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems. As the demand for actuator technologies grows in biomedical, prosthetic and orthotic applications, there is an increasing need for complex and sophisticated products that perform efficiently also when scaled to micro and nano domains. Providing a comprehensive overview of actuators for novel applications, this excellent book: Presents a mechatronic approach to the design, control and integration of a range of technologies covering piezoelectric actuators, shape memory actuators, electro-active polymers, magnetostrictive actuators and electro- and magnetorheological actuators. Examines the characteristics and performance of emerging actuators upon scaling to micro and nano domains. Assesses the relative merits of each actuator technology and outlines prospective application fields. Offering a detailed analysis on current advances in the field, this publication will appeal to practising electrical and electronics engineers developing novel actuator systems. Mechanical and automation engineers, computer scientists and researchers will also find this a useful resource.

Emerging Actuator Technologies

A Micromechatronic Approach

Chapter One

Actuators in motion control systems: mechatronics

Actuators are irreplaceable constituents of mechatronic motion control systems. Moreover, they are true mechatronic systems: that is, concurrent engineering is required to fully exploit their potential as actuators.

This chapter analyzes the actuator as a device included in motion control systems. It introduces the intimate relationship between transducers, sensors and actuators, and discusses the implications of sharing these functions on the same component.

It also discusses the role of the actuator as a device establishing an energy flow between the electrical and the mechanical domain, and it introduces a set of relevant performance criteria as a means for analyzing the performance of actuators. These criteria include both static and dynamic conside ... read full excerpt from Emerging Actuator Technologies: A Micromechatronic Approach ebook
