Abstract
Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is a material that change shape by applying heat. SMA exhibits shape memory effect. In recovering their shape the alloys can produce a displacement or force as a function of temperature. Key features of products that possess this shape memory property include: high force during shape change; large movement with small temperature change; a high permanent strength; simple application, because no special tolls are required; many possible shapes and configurations; and easy to use- just heat. In one well developed application shape memory alloy provide simple and virtually leak proof coupling for pneumatic or hydraulic lines. In this project, the SMA material will be designed and develop to replace the current automotive clutch actuator. Several designs were proposed in this project as the clutch actuator. Problem encounter is to produce the exact time of clutch response and to produce clutch stroke as same as conventional actuator by using SMA wires. To overcome this problem, several designs prototype were build and tested to get its performance data. The data that being recorded are it strokes, response times and bias times and also the voltage of the wire. The method use is by recorded the time by using stopwatch and recorded the stroke produce by using a ruler. From the result, one design was selected as the SMA clutch actuator but it still needs to be improve in the future.
