ABSTRACT:
A micro-actuator includes a movable member having fins that are elastically mounted thereto, and a reciprocating actuator. In rotational micro-actuators embodying the invention, the fins are attached to a peripheral surface of a rotor, and the actuator moves to compress the fins toward the peripheral surface of the rotor. This imparts a rotational force which rotates the rotor. In linear micro-actuators, fins can be attached to a movable member which is arranged to move along a track. Actuators positioned along the track can cause the fins on the movable member to compress, thereby moving the movable member along the track. In alternate linear micro-actuators, the actuators can be located on the movable member, and the fins can be located on the track. Rotational and linear micro-actuators embodying the invention could also be configured to operate in opposing directions.
