Abstract

The key parts of giant magnetostrictive actuator, flexure hinge and pre-stress disc spring, were designed and analyzed. Rotation stiffness and strength characteristics of flexure hinge were analyzed, calculation equations for rotation stiffness and strength were established as well. Fatigue characteristic was also analyzed as flexure hinge usually worked under high frequency situation. In order to improve output efficiency of the giant magnetostrictive actuator and reduce energy loss, an ideal spring force-deformation curve, whose shape was bilinear broken line, of the pre- stress disc spring was put forward, and a disc spring was designed by configuring its geometric parameters to make its spring force-deformation curve was approximate to the ideal spring force-deformation curve.
