Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to a reusable actuating device utilizing multiple integrated planar shape memory alloy elements integrated with independent driver circuits and at least one return spring integrated onto a single multi-layer PCB with a novel layout to create an electrically and mechanically redundant integrated actuator solution uniquely suited for use in low-profile devices that can be utilized by themselves or as an initiator in a staged device to release higher loads. The apparatus of the invention is particularly useful for spacecraft and other vehicular actuation devices.
