摘要
A novel actuation mechanism is presented, which makes use of the antagonism of intrinsic magnetic and shape recovery forces acting on a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (SMA) microactuator in a magnetic field. This mechanism is associated with large actuation and small biasing forces in each actuation direction resulting in a large stroke. Since no additional biasing elements are required, extremely compact designs are possible. As a demonstrator, an optical microscanner of 7 mm x 3 mm x 5 mm size is presented showing large scanning angles up to 120degrees in off-resonance mode. The scanning performance keeps frequency independent below a critical frequency, which is determined by heat transfer times. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
