![]() | An integrated milli-metric cell actuator: design and test
By G. Busatto; R. Di Stefano; M. Scarano | |
Abstract: In the paper an original configuration of milli-metric actuator is presented. The actuator hosts a
magnetic film that produces a flux density axial distribution. The fixed active element is built by a lot
of elementary smart radial conductors. Each conductor represents an elementary actuator which is
able to sense the magnetic field allowing the current flow in the right direction in order to develop a
suitable thrust and a mechanical power. Each conductor includes a smart power ASIC specifically
designed and fabricated in standard 1.5 µm CMOS technology.
