ABSTRACT:
A thermal bend actuator, having a plurality of elements, is provided. The actuator includes a first active element for connection to drive circuitry a second passive element mechanically cooperating with the first element. When a current is passed through the first element, the first element expands relative to the second element, resulting in bending of the actuator. The second element includes a material having negative thermal expansion.
