Actuator yield is typically measured through a combination of experimental testing and simulation. Key performance indicators include:
- Displacement: How much the actuator moves in response to a given stimulus. - Force Generation: The amount of force the actuator can produce. - Response Time: The speed at which the actuator responds to input signals. - Energy Efficiency: The ratio of useful work performed to the energy consumed.
These metrics are evaluated under various conditions to ensure the actuator meets the required specifications.
