Abstract: | Due to their many features including lightweight and low energy consumption, dielectric elastomer (DE) membrane actuators are of interest for a number of industrial applications, such as pumping systems or valve control units. In particular, the use of DEs in valve control units offers advantages over traditional solenoid valves, including lower power requirements and relative simplicity in achieving proportional control. Additionally, DEs generate low thermal dissipation and are capable of virtually silent operation. The contribution of this work is the development of a new valve system based on a circular DE membrane pre-loaded with a linear spring. The valve is designed for pressurized air and operates by actuating a lever mechanism that opens and closes an outlet port. After presenting the operating principle and system design, several experiments are presented to compare actuator force, stroke, and dissipated energy for several pressure differentials and associated volume flows. It is observed that the DE-driven valve achieves a performance similar to a solenoid-based valve, while requiring a significantly lower amount of input energy. In addition, it is shown that DE-membrane valves can be controlled proportionally by simply adjusting the actuator voltage. |
