Recently, several soft actuators have been researched because of their high safeties. In this paper, firstly, we designed the actuator whose length is 11mm made of silicone rubber. Secondly, the actuator is analyzed on its displacement and generating force by Finite Element Method. Thirdly, we designed and developed the actuator based on the result of analysis. The actuator has bellows structure which cause bending deformation of actuator. We made a basic experiment of this actuator and compared with the result of analysis. Experimental results agree well with the result of analysis. Finally, we applied several actuators to mechanism which can transport some object. This device has ability of transportation.
