Abstract:
Much effort is being applied to the development of autonomous Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). In their full and total configuration, Microsystems consist of sensor part, data processing part and actuator part. One kind of actuator devices, these are Microfluidic Pumps. Nowadays, they find very large applications in different areas of life, science and techniques. Contemporary microelectronics and microelectronic technologies give the possibility to design and to produce Microfluidic Pumps, with very small dimensions and weight, low power consumption and very high reliability. In the present paper, an explanation of the principles of operation, technological ways of production and application are given. A Piezoelectricdriven Microfluidic Pump is designed and presented.
