Figure 1 shows a simple block using an NPN transistor driving an SMA (electronic muscle) up to 2 A. This circuit needs 20 mA to drive an 1 A SMA and less to drive lower-current muscles. TTL and CMOS outputs can drive low-power SMAs using this block.
This circuit described here is based on my book Robotics, Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence (sold out) published in the United States. It can be used to control SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) and other DC loads in robotics and mechatronics projects. The resistance of a SMA changes when it is heated means that the current sourced by the power supply also changes. This variation can cause overheating or other problems. If the SMA is powered from a constant current source, secure operation can be achieved.
This circuit described here is based on my book Robotics, Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence (sold out) published in the United States. It can be used to control SMA (Shaoe Memory Alloy) in robotics and mechatronics projects. The SMA requires a specific minimum amount of current to be heated to its transition temperature. You can determine this current using the circuit shown in Figure 1.
This article was written based on my book Robotics, Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence (sold out) published in the United States. The described circuit can be used to control SMA (Shaoe Memory Alloy) in robotics and mechatronics projects. The block circuit in Figure 1 illustrates the simplest way to drive an SMA. The voltage must be calculated according to the SMA (length, current, and resistance by meter) and the power supply must be able to supply the necessary current.
This article was originally published in my book Robotics, Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligent (sold out) in the United States. In it we describe the basic aspects of the use of solenoids, servomotors and SMAs in mechatronics and robotics projects. Several circuits follow this sequence with specific applications.
