Abstract

This paper presents a very compact multisensory linear actuator system. The key element of this linear actuator system is the DLR patented planetary roller spindle drive(PRSD®). With a volume of 50 × 50 × 104 mm (length × width × height), it can output more than 100 kg force and achieve a displacement of 50 mm with a resolution of 2 μm. A compact microcontroller-based stand-alone system enables the actuator only need three cables for RS232 and five cables for RS422 serial communication with any commercial PC, in addition to two cables for power supply.
