DEA DevKIT BSCiDEA

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators, known for their capacity to transform electrical energy into linear motion, represent a potential game-changer in the realm of IoT actuators. Unlike conventional electric motors, these elastomers operate with minimal energy consumption and exhibit remarkable resilience to environmental factors like temperature and vibration. The BSCiDEA Development Kit is poised to provide not only the linear actuator but also an electronic control unit equipped with a web interface and IoT connectivity. Additionally, it includes a battery-free EnOcean wireless switch for effortless, “plug and play” operation. The BSCiDEA development kit allows comprehensive evaluation and quick prototyping of innovative DEA based mechatronic solutions.
