Abstract

Using only 0.96g of dielectric elastomer actuator and applying about 3kV we will be demonstrated can lift a weight of 4kg over 1mm. It is driven at relatively high speed and the time required to move 1 mm can be 98 milliseconds. The DEA achieves high output using SWCNT electrodes suitable for acrylic dielectric elastomers. Currently, we are developing a new dielectric elastomer material and SWCNT. With such, we seek to make the actuator more compact and obtain higher output power. Within a year’s time, we are aiming for a DEA that lifts 8kg.
