Abstract:
Approaches for a miniaturisation of electrical machines that are based on an electromagnetic principle have to overcome numerous challenges. Some of these are only a result of the rules of growth (or shrinkage), some are a result of the micro technological fabrication processes. This paper gives an overview about the current state of the art including various examples of linear and rotating micro actuators that have been realised.
