摘要
An electromagnetic MEMS microactuator with two stable positions is simulated and fabricated. The proposed structure for the microactuator consists of a soft magnetic cantilever beam with two free ends, a soft magnetic torsional beam with two fixed ends, double-layer planar coils and permanent magnets. With the electromagnetic actuation arising from the planar coils, the cantilever beam will switch from one stable position to the other. The cantilever beam has two stable positions due to the use of the permanent magnets. The designed microactuator is simulated by the finite element method, using the ANSYS 7.0 software. The working mechanism for the bistability of the microactuator is analyzed. The device with the size of 2.2mm x 2.5mm is fabricated by UV-LIGA technology. The result of test shows that the switching between two stable states is successfully represented by a current pulse with about 50mA amplitude through the integrated coils in agreement with the result of simulation.
