We aim to create a novel prototype linear actuator with new structure applying an ER (Electro-Rheological) gel, a recent functional material. The actuator will be an all-purpose actuator satisfying characteristics for human-coexistence application. Such actuators for the application need large generative force, high speed response, good controllability, high safety, low friction, backdriveability...
This paper proposes a dynamic analysis method for a new spiral resonant actuator with two-degree-of-freedom employing the 3-D finite element method (FEM), and the dynamic characteristics of the actuator are quantitatively clarified using this method.
This paper presents a dynamic analysis method of a novel spherical resonant actuator using the three-dimensional finite element method (3-D FEM). In this method, the magnetic field equation is coupled with the electric circuit equation and the motion equation, and the mesh modification method using the Laplace equation is applied to the rotation of a spherical actuator.
Nowadays, robots manipulated by human are aggressively researched and developed. Such robots need large generative force, high speed response, good controllability, high safety, low friction, backdriveability and so on. We have put emphasis on the backdriveability and created a novel prototype linear actuator with new structure applying an ER (electro-rheological) gel, a recent functional material...
This paper presents a coupled analysis method for a linear oscillatory actuator that can convert the rotation into linear motion using DC motor and magnetic conversion mechanism. In this method, motion equations of motor rotation and linear motion are simultaneously solved employing the 3-D finite element method. The usefulness of the method is verified to confirm the mutual influences of motion on...
