Adaptive spring-, damping- or joint system for use as resetting element for shape memory actuator, has variable position element made of shape memory material, where spring, damping and joint properties of system are variable

摘要

The joint system (5) has a variable position element made of shape memory material, where the system is made of shape memory material. Spring, damping and joint properties of the joint system are variable by heating or annealing treatment in an operating mode. An operating element (2) is guided in a housing of a shape memory actuator (1) in a lengthwise manner such that the operating element forms a translational movement along upward and downward directions. An operating member is coupled with a shape memory element (3).
