Abstract

This paper proposes a new design method of the helical actuator which can realize a high ratio contraction when pressurized. Based on the same working principle of the old design, a new fabrication way using only the one-way stretchable cloth is proposed to satisfy the situation where tiny size of the helical actuator is needed. A mathematical model is analyzed and set up based on the geometric structure of the new structure of the actuator. Experiments are conducted to examine the validity of the model.
