This paper considers positioning algorithms for rotary actuators based on shape
memory Cu-Al-Ni crystals. The actuator function scheme is provided. An algorithm for
positioning of the actuator based on an actual rotary angle has been developed. Experimental
results on the control algorithm and the actuator are presented. The functional characteristics
of the actuator (rotation speed and positioning accuracy) are considered.
Keywords: shape memory effect, Cu-Al-Ni single crystals, cyclic rotary actuator, positioning algorithms |
