Here we use a printed coil actuator to create a speaker from a plastic cup. We have also built these into headphones. Sound quality is very acceptable for a first prototype.

Nitinol actuators are very easily damaged if the stress exceeds roughly 40 ksi or if the temperature exceeds 150 degrees C. This is a demonstration of mechanical over-stress protection in which flexures deflect very short distances when an engineered or pre-determined Nitinol wire stress is exceeded. Under high stress conditions the flexures allow the Nitinol anchor point to move and close a switch. Thereby cutting power to the device and protecting the Nitinol from over temperature or over stress conditions.

These boards are as received from our board manufacturer and are ready for the insertion of pins as guides for the stainless steel stages. We swage the Nitinol wire in place after insertion of the stages to create our custom Nitinol actuators. We routinely do pilot runs of 250 to 500 such actuators.

We design our own circuits for control of our client’s projects. We have access to US and overseas circuit board manufacturers that can create single boards or large arrays. This board has pins for an Arduino Pro Mini to sit on top of the board.

A magnetic detent on one printed coil provides a preferred location for the magnet that is shared between the two coils. When the coil is energized the magnet escapes the detent and travels to the opposite side. When the coil is de-energized the magnet returns to the detent position.
