Analysis and Design of Slotted Tubular Linear Actuator for the Eco-Pedal System of a Vehicle

摘要

This paper presents the design and analysis of-a linear actuator for vehicle Eco-Pedal system. To prevent the excessive gas consumption for fuel-efficient vehicle the electric actuator produces a counter force to the vehicle's pedal to be pressed stiffly. Major performances of the actuator are required such as a high force density and a low detent force. In this paper, the design of the actuator is optimized to satisfying the requirement of the actuator, and the finite element method is used to analyze the actuator. The advisability of the design result is verified with the experimental result.
