  • Design parameter characterisation and experimental validation of hydrostatic actuation suitable for MEMS
    Sensors and Actuators A-physical, 2006
    Co-Authors: Simon Mutzenich, Thurai Vinay, Dinesh K. Sood, Gary Rosengarten
    Abstract:

    Hydrostatic actuation is a novel micro hydraulic actuation principle that uses temperature-induced pressure changes in a contained fluid as the driving force. The mechanism for actuation is unique in MEMS and the mechanical/structural design has not yet been fully characterised. In this paper, characterisation was carried out by assessing analytical models from earlier researchers created in an attempt to describe the mechanics of Bourdon Tubes. Finite element models were produced as a more accurate means of analysis due to the inherent complexities and geometric nonlinearities of hydrostatic actuation. To validate the analytical and finite element models, macro prototypes were developed and tested as a means of comparison of the mechanics of the proposed hydrostatic actuation.

  • A Study of the Pneumatic Bourdon Tubes Actuator (BTA) for a Precise Positioning Robotics
    Proceedings of the JFPS International Symposium on Fluid Power, 2011
    Co-Authors: Yukio Saito, Hiroyasu Niitsuma
    Abstract:

    Our paper describes a new type actuator composed of a pair of two Bourdon Tubes stnicture basically. The two Bourdon Tubes drove oscillatory motion antagonistically. The control system of a BTA (Bourdon Tubes Actuator) is positioning and force control.A 13TA is changed from pressure gauge to angle movement, and detected by resolvers attached to each axis. BTA making use of pneumatically had a function of actuator by using Ar. gas or CO2 gas. Especially 0.05 degree/pulse of positioning repeatability was realized by 13TA only and 0.2mm (Full scale 8mm for each axis) was obtained by the robot. As an application of a BTA, we established a Bio-robotics of pneumatic actuation with 3DOF. This paper is followed from JHPS' 1996, and reports for a very small force control and analysis of a BTA.

  • study of a pneumatic robot utilizing a bta Bourdon tube actuator
    Proceedings of the JFPS International Symposium on Fluid Power, 1996
    Co-Authors: Yoshihide Fujiwara, Yukio Saito, Kazutaka Hattori
    Abstract:

    The Pneumatic BTA (Bourdon Tube Actuator) is a sticksliplew actuator which utilize a pair of spiral Bourdon Tubes as a functional element and obtains displacement by air pres.sure. Compared with an electric motor and so on, the BTA is smaller and lighter; moreover, it generates a high torque and accurate positioning.Before now Alias been difficult for a cylindrical type pneumatic actuator to control accurate positioning because of sliding friction. Our laboratory developed a three-axis driving robot with 4-bar linkage utilizing a pneumatic BTA. We obtained owillating of ± 15 degrees and minimum sensitivity 0.6 × 10-2 degree. A pneumatic BTA robot system makes posble minute action and accurate positioning.
