Bimitech Actuator Clamp Assembly
The Bimitech actuator must be assembled using the provided clamp to be operated properly. There are
two possible configurations, shown in the figures below. Use both screws to tighten the clamp part of
the assembly. The screws feature thread locker; therefore they need not be tightened too much, only
make sure the actuator is held in place.
The configuration on the left (button configuration) allows to emulate a button using the development
kit sensing feature. It features a mechanical hard-stop to prevent too much displacement to be applied
to the actuator. Apply a small force on the center of the actuator to feel the BOS1901 detecting the
force and then issue a feedback. Pulling upward the tip of the actuator will create a similar result.
The configuration on the right (vibrator configuration) is used to produce strong vibrations. Use
TM
Audacity
to play haptic waveforms (see Appendix C) on the actuator and feel the vibration. For
maximum feeling, hold the clamp in your hand while the actuator is vibrating. It is also possible to attach
a small weight at the tip of the actuator to enhance the vibration at a given frequency (please contact
Bimitech
for more information).
