| Abstract | We present results of the design, fabrication, and testing of a microfabricated, membrane-type magnetic actuator. Magnetic pieces made of electroplated Permalloy (Ni80Fe20) are embedded in a thin ̄exible membrane made of silicone elastomer. When an external magnetic ®eld is applied, a torque generated on the magnetic pieces produces membrane displacement. Permalloy pieces that are 100-mm-wide, 870mm-long, and 22-mm-thick are strategically positioned in a 2-mm-square, 40-mm-thick polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane (Sylgard 184). This design, produced through numerical simulations, is optimized to realize large membrane displacements. Tests performed on this membrane actuator showed displacements >80 mm in the presence of a 2:85 10 A/m external magnetic ®eld. Larger displacements are possible with greater magnetization ®elds. This type of membrane actuator can be applied to the fabrication of tetherless micropumps for use in micro ̄uidic systems. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. |
