Development of an Actuator for Translatory Movement by Means of a Detented Switching Shaft Based on a Shape Memory Alloy Wire for Repeatable Mechanical Positioning

Development of an Actuator for Translatory Movement by Means of a Detented Switching Shaft Based on a Shape Memory Alloy Wire for Repeatable Mechanical Positioning

Actuators based on the shape memory effect have recently become more and more economically important due to the many advantages of shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as their high energy density. SMAs are usually used to control the end/maximum positions, thus the actuators always move between two pos...
