Abstract

This paper presents a very compact multisensory linear actuator and its control system. The key element of this linear actuator system is the DLR patented planetary roller spindle drive(PRSD)®. With a volume of 50×50×104mm (length × width × height), it can output more than 100kg force and achieve a displacement of 50mm with a resolution of 2μm. A compact microcontroller based stand-alone system enables the actuator only need 3 cables for RS232 and 5 cables for RS422 serial communication with any commercial PC, in addition to 2 cables for power supply.
