ACTUATOR SELECTION TOOL

This page compares actuators based on measurements. The database is designed to compare linear contractile materials. It enables:

  • Device designers to find potential matches to their actuation needs through the actuator selection form.
  • Researchers and designers to create plots comparing any two fields stored in the database.
  • Users to browse the complete database compiled from several different researcher’s results.

Additional features include:

  • A summary table comparing actuator properties.
  • A text description of the fields that are stored for each actuator.
  • A data submission feature (contact the database manager to obtain a password).
