2A2-J15 Development of Super-Robust HFD Electric Actuator : Fundamentals and Mechanism of Prototype Actuator installed in UMRS2009(Mechanism and Control for Actuator)

Abstract

Because Rescue robot is used in various types of environment and running conditions, the robustness is essential for actuators used in the drive systems of robots. The new type actuator, we named Super-Robust HFD Electrical Actuator, has been developed. This actuator consists of the electric motor and the friction transmission type flat belt that protects the drive train from the impact overload. The fundamentals and mechanism of this actuator system is reported in this paper.
