Humaniform
Muscle
Muscles
are supplied with clamp blocks on either end designed
to provide secure fixing points. Each clamp block has
an integral 4mm push-fit fixing to accept 4mm air hose
directly. and micro-miniature servo fixings to drive
the internal air valves. The lugs at either end allow
the muscle force to be remoted.

Humaniform
Muscle - Cutaway
The
muscle cutaway shows the position of the internal
air valves. Air must be supplied into the inlet valve
(red) and expelled via the outlet valve (blue). When
the valves are at rest the muscle will remain at the
length set for a long period of time (temperature
will affect the length of time).
. We supply the matching connector ends with each
muscle for customer use.

The
Humaniform Servo Actuator has been designed
to be a (electricaly compatible) plug in replacement
for a standard servo motor. This highly sophisticated
actuator contains onboard control electronics,
software, out patented integrated proportional
valves and our patented optical position sensor
(LEX) technology. The final product is a powerful
actuator that can be readily integrated into
existing designs.
The
"Servo series" of Humaniform Actuators
have built-in position control, and once
a given target position is reached it is
maintained with minimal energy input.
