Chapter 8, Problem 8.86PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Micro actuators function should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Micro actuators convert input energy (electrical signal) into controlled mechanical energy. It produces motion of very small magnitude from $\text{μm}\text{to mm}$ and force from $\text{pN to mN}$. There are many types of micro actuators based on output energy, way of output energy released and input energy. Micro actuators is a small transducer which converts one form of energy into another.
