We've been telling people for years that we make actuators that are 'roughly the size of a credit card folded in half' so we decided ... Experimenting with the tradeoffs between force and stroke (or rotation angle) we fastened the SMA wire down more closely to the ... An SMA wire embedded in a layup of polymers and adhesives with NdFeB magnets creates a self-latching bracelet type closure ... Running at 3.7v via external MADv5 switch and Bluetooth.
This prototype actuator was designed to provide 24 pounds of force and 3/8" of stroke. There is a U-
