Actuator
Abstract:
An actuator main body (11) is formed by a plurality of artificial muscles (12). Each artificial muscle (12) includes an elastic tube (13) and a braided tube (15) covering an outside of the elastic tube (13). A first outside cylindrical body (21) is attached to one end portion of the actuator main body (11), and a second outside cylindrical body (22) is attached to the other end portion of the actuator main body (11). Bonding portions (23, 24) are respectively provided in the first and second outside cylindrical bodies (21, 22). The bonding portions (23, 24) are used to bond the elastic tube (13) to the braided tube (15), to bond the outside cylindrical body (21) to the artificial muscles (12), and to bond the outside cylindrical body (22) to the artificial muscles (12).
