Abstract

In this paper we propose a new model of a mini-pump with peristaltic motion and present the results of the finite element analysis of an electromagnetic micro actuator. The mini-pump consists of three diaphrams made of PDMS, three permanent magnets in cylinders, printed copper coils on glass substrates, and input and output port. The size of the mini-pump is $14\;{\times}\;40\;{\times}\;5.4$ mm3 and the permanent magnet diameter 6.2 mm $\times$ thickness 2 mm. The electromagnetic force applied on the magnet was about 0.84 N when the current of coils was 1 A, then the maximum displacement of the PDMS diaphram was about 2mm.
