Abstract

There are some applications that require a force without significant motion or high speed dynamic, such as in case of robot gripper. Shape Memory Alloys are well suited for these applications due their high strength to weight ratio. In this paper, an actuator based on a SMA spring is proposed. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate actuator performances.
