Abstract
This paper reported ECLIA (Electrostatically Controlled Linear Actuator) integrated with an electronic connecting technique using conductive liquid. All physical resistance resulting from this technique is fluid resistance which is resulted by the probe moves in the conductive liquid. Therefore this technique allows reducing physical resistance compared with conventional wire. The slider of ECLIA can move in a long range by using this connecting technique. In order to control the motion of the slider, we integrated the slider with a micro position sensor, which is a potentiometer using conductive liquid. The developed slider was successfully demonstrated to drive and detect movement as designed.
