A New Low-Profile Electromagnetic-Pneumatic Actuator for High-Bandwidth Applications

This paper proposes a new electromagneticpneumatic actuator with high force density for wide bandwidth applications. The actuator includes an active electromagnetic actuator and a pneumatic spring, fused together into a hybrid design. The electromagnetic component acts as an active element, generating wide bandwidth high-density forces. It further provides a baseline stiffness, for the device, usi...
