IPMC-EMIM (Ionic Polyer Metal Composites + 1-ethyl-3- methyl imidazolium trifluromethane sulfonate, EMIM-Tfo) is fabricated by substituting ionic liquid for water in Nafion film, which improves water sensitiveness of IPMC and guarantees uniform performance regardless of the surrounding environment. In this paper, we will introduce the design and analysis of AF Lens Actuator using IPMC-EMIM. We will briefly introduce the procedure of fabrication of IPMC-EMIM first, and proceed on to define the necessary variables, analyze performance by changing the value of the variables, make a designed AF Lens Actuator, and measure the performance of one of them.

Bacterial Cellulose Actuator with biocompatible and biodegradable properties was newly developed as an electro-active biopolymer under water. The performance of the BC actuator was improved through Li treatment. The mechanical and chemical properties of BC membranes were measured such as the tensile test, proton conductivity. The surface morphology of the bacterial cellulose was observed by using SEM. The electromechanical bending responses under both direct current and alternating current excitations were investigated. In voltage-current test,the power consumption under dynamic excitation increases with increasing voltage. Present results show that the bacterial cellulose actuator can be a promising smart material and may possibly have diverse applications under water.

In this paper we propose a small form factor actuator using an inclined motion guide for auto-focusing and zoom motions for mobile information devices. The novel structure using the inclined motion guide and a lens-supporting beam converts the circular motion by an ultrasonic motor into the linear motion of the optical lens. The proposed actuator has a simple structure to minimizing the mechanical tolerance, and the stroke is easy to modify by controlling the inclined angle. Experiments using a prototype verify the validity of the model as small form factor optical actuator.

A moving-magnet type pickup actuator has an assembly error. That is, the actuating Part of an actuator is shifted from initial position after we assemble it into yoke. This Is the result of an effect of magnetic force between magnet and yoke. We performed magnetic-analysis using FEA. As a result of simulation, we improved the assembling efficiency for moving-magnet type actuator.

Magnetostrictive materials have been used for linear actuators due to its large strain, large force output with moderate frequency band in the presence of magnetic field. However their performance analysis is difficult because of nonlinear material behaviors in terms of coupled strain-magnetic field dependence, nonlinear permeability, pre-stress dependence and hysteresis. This paper presents a finite element analysis technique for magnetostrictive linear actuator. To deal with coupled problems and nonlinear behaviors, a simple finite element approach is proposed, which is based on separate magnetic field calculation and displacement simulation. The finite element formulation and an in-house program development are illustrated, and a simulation model is made for a magnetostrictive linear actuator. The fabrication and performance test of the linear actuator are explained, and the performance comparison with simulation result is shown. Since this approach is simple, it can be applied for analyzing magnetostrictive underwater projectors and ultrasonic transducers.

The piezoelectric materials convert from mechanical energy to electrical energy. The piezoelectric materials are used in various engineering applications such as piezoelectric ultrasonic actuators. Since the piezoelectric coupling characteristics of the actuator systems should be considered at the initial design stage, it is essential to analyze the piezoelectric coupling characteristics of the ultrasonic actuators. In this study, we analyzed the electromechanical characteristics of piezoelectric stacked actuator using the equivalent circuit model with modal mass stiffness parameters. It was compared the admittance of piezoelectric stack actuators with the analytical circuit model and the finite element model. Also, the coupling coefficient of piezoelectric stack actuator was discussed according to the number of stacks of actuators.

This paper deals with the performance evaluation of piezoelectric unimorph actuator. In the unimorph design, the thickness ratio of substrate to piezoelectric material and the elastic modulus ratio of substrate to piezoelectric material are important parameters. There exists only one structural configuration that satisfies the optimal condition among them, and actuators using that configuration exhibit better actuating displacements. Another design parameter is the piezoelectric coefficient which can be improved due to the induced tensile stress and voltages. The application of the tensile stress to the piezoelectric material makes it get higher piezoelectric coefficient and the total displacement performance of the unimorph actuator is improved. Finally, the piezoelectric actuator system with spring elements is fabricated and it shows higher actuating displacement capability.

A disk-type 3-DOF actuator which has new principle and very simple structure is proposed. Also it utilizes the relation of bias and control fluxes produced by permanent magnets and coils, respectively, like other conventional electromagnetic actuators, but its main feature is that both the coils and permanent magnets are fixed in the stator, which makes it easy to design the shape of moving part. Operating principle is that a moving disk is driven by reaction force of Lorentz force acting on the fixed equivalent coil. Simple analytic approach and FEM analysis are performed to determine the design parameters so as to increase the driving force and distance. And some experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed actuator.

A new type actuator has been designed and investigated to overcome thermal problems in slim optical disc drives adopted in mobile storage devices. As the size of optical disc drives decreases, it is more difficult to remove the heat inside a drive and the temperature of an actuator increases. As a result, the second resonance of an actuator moves down to a lower frequency band and the performance of optical parts also deteriorates. (omitted)

The suspension of the optical pickup actuator is damped by the presence of silicone rubber damper bond at its termination. In spite of the presence of it, the actuator still exhibits a strong mechanical resonance which affects its settling time and vibrational characteristics. This resonance can cause errors in reading information from the disk, particularly in high speed CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. Ferrofluids are stable colloidal suspensions of sub-micron sized magnetic particles in a carrier liquid. In the actuator design, ferrofluid is applied to the surface of the magnets until the quantity is sufficient to maintain intimate contact with the bobbin/carrier assembly. The fluid is retained in the magnetic field and its viscosity provides the desired mechanical damping to the moving assembly, improving the actuators settling time and vibrational characteristics. Access time is also improved, particularly on warped or eccentric discs.
