The mechanical and electrical properties of the actuation system, such as back-drivability, controllability, and response time, are verified by experimental results.
A novel camless valve actuation system with a unique hydro-mechanical internal feedback mechanism which simplifies the external control design is first introduced.
Accordingly, this manipulation results in desired mechanical actuation of the PAM actuator in practical uses.
Quantitative understanding of mechanical actuation of intricate Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) actuators is technically required in control system design for effective real-time implementation.
With the development of more/all electrical aircraft technology, an electro-mechanical actuator (EMA) is more and more used in an aircraft actuation system.
Dissimilar redundant actuation system (DRAS) composed of one hydraulic actuator (HA) and one electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) represents industry trend in actuation system towards more electric aircraft (MEA).
The controlled actuation system includes four similar miniature electromechanical actuators disposed in two parallel actuation lines.
As the mechanical pedal system is prone to malfunctions and its appearance is not desired in hotels and some facilities, the actuation system can be automated.
In the final version of the SLIDE device, this mechanical actuation of the upper magnets was replaced with a magnetic field-driven mechanism.
