What is "microactuator"

n. A microscopic actuator, especially one on a silicon chip

A microactuator is a microscopic servomechanism that supplies and transmits a measured amount of energy for the operation of another mechanism or system. As a general actuator, following standards have to be met.

• Large travel
• High precision
• Fast switching
• Low power consumption
• Power free force sustainability

For microactuator, there are two in addition

• Microstructurability
• Integrability
