Scalable Output Linear Actuators, a Novel Design Concept Using Shape Memory Alloy Wires Driven by Fluid Temperature
In this paper, the concept of scalability for actuators is introduced and explored, which is the capability to freely change the output characteristics on demand: displacement and force for a linear actuator, angular position and torque for a rotational actuator. This change can either be used to ob...
