In order to realize a space-saving and high-output actuator system, we aim to achieve synchronous drive using multiple twisted string actuators (TSA). In the preliminary research, the output actually obtained was smaller than the output expected, and the obtained value alone resulted in strict confirmation of cooperativeness. Therefore, in this study, we developed a synchronous drive device that can adjust the parameters of TSA in order to investigate the influence of each parameter of TSA on its performance. As a result of the experiment, TSA has confirmed that synchronous driving can be achieved by adjusting the parameters so that parameters related to synchronization such as delay can be aligned even for TSAs with different properties.
