随着老龄化社会的发展，康复装置和助力装置的软驱动器的开发成为必然。然而，还没有开发出能够产生更大的力和更长的位移的柔性致动器。在根据致动器的形状变形其形状的同时，也难以实现具有长行程的柔性位移传感器。在先前的研究中，提出并测试了具有较大力和较长行程的柔性致动器，该柔性致动器可以通过使用气动气囊和制动器进行步进运动来调节其行程。然而，气动制动器的滑动阻止了更大的产生力。本文介绍了一种改进的气动制动器，该制动器采用气囊和机械卡盘。介绍了采用改进制动器的作动器的基本性能。
The development of soft actuator for the rehabilitation device and power assisting devices has been required based on aging society. However, a flexible actuator that can generate both larger force and longer displacement has not been developed. It is also difficult to realize a flexible displacement sensor with long stroke while deforming its form according to the actuator’s shape. In the previous study, the flexible actuator with larger force and longer stroke that can adjust its stroke by giving stepping motion using pneumatic balloons and brakes was proposed and tested. However, the slipping of the pneumatic brake prevents the larger generated force. In this paper, the improved pneumatic brake using a pneumatic balloon and a mechanical chuck is described. The fundamental performance of the actuator using the improved brake is also described.
