Title
An electrostrictive polymer actuator control system.
Abstract
If we install electrode such as conductive grease or carbon powder in both sides of electrostrictive polymer film, then it becomes parallel-plate capacitor using electrostrictive polymer as dielectric. When the voltage is applied to electrodes, charges are piled up on the electrodes. Then, there is the attractive force between charges in anode and cathode electrode. This force acts as pressure in the direction of thickness, so electrostrictive polymer expands in the direction of area by its incompressible characteristic. When the voltage is off, electrostrictive polymer returns to its original shape. In this paper, we realized electrostrictive polymer actuator using the deformation of electrostrictive polymer, and designed and implemented the control system of this actuator. Using this control system, we analyzed its actuation and did motion control. In order to do that, we analyzed the relations between voltage and displacement. Also, the characteristics of this actuator were measured under some control techniques.
