Funded Activity Summary

The design and development of a novel high power-to-weight actuator. Powerful and compact actuators are becoming increasingly in demand due to the sophistication in a range of uses varying from aerospace to automotive accessories. The aim of this project is to develop an actuator with high performance and power-to-weight ratio, suitable for use in cutting-edge applications. In the first instance, the focus will be on developing an automotive mirror actuator in close collaboration with the industrial partner, but the generic research outcomes will be applicable to development of actuators for other purposes. The new generation actuators will contribute to Australian manufacturing exports to become internationally competitive.
