In consideration of the issues of small output force and low speed of inchworm linear actuator
a novel inchworm linear micro actuator based on compliant mechanism was presented. The micro actuator was composed of two clamping mechanisms
a driving mechanism and an output shaft. The movement was characterized by the drive mechanism
which drives the clamping mechanism to create reciprocating linear motion
and the clamping mechanism
which was driven by linear motion from the output shaft. The flexible lever structure was adopted to design both the clamping mechanism and the driving mechanism in order to offer enough clamping force and driving force and improve the speed of the micro actuator. The relationship between the driving voltage and clamping force of the clamping mechanism
and the relationship between input displacement and output displacement of the driving mechanism were established by the pseudo rigid body method. The relationship between the input force and the driving force was established based on the function principle. The prototype of micro actuator was made and an experimental platform was set up to test the performance of the micro actuator. The experimental results show that
when the driving voltage is 120 V
frequency is 95 Hz
and maximum speed is 48.91 mm/s; the maximum clamping and driving forces are 216.43 N and 13.5 N.
