Moving Mechanism Using Inertia

It is assumed that small sized moving machine is available in the field of biomechanics and chemical reaction, etc. If we construct an equipment using traditional electric motor as a power souce and wheels as a driving element, it is difficult to keep the size within the permitted limit. So we must investigate a new type system. In this report, we constructed an equipment which is driven with the force of inertia produced on viblating a piston of linear type actuator as a trial. Using this equipment, experiments on the performance was conducted and comparison between experimental data and specification was made. The results have shown that the driving performances are in approximate agreement with the specification. But the moving action at the lower speed becomes unstable owing to the frictional loss of the piston. The inverstigation on how far the infiuence extends by this loss is a topic for the future study
