Abstract: In order to understand more about the law of driver features E-ACE material of membrane-type actuator, according to the law of drive，a membrane-type actuator model was developed. By the experiment，the main factor that impacts on driver features of membrane-type actuator based on E-ACE was studied. Focus on the film pre-stretch and the two main factors drive voltage for a more in-depth was studied. The result shows that the pre-stretch and drive voltage have relatively large impact on the driver features of membrane-type actuator. For the membrane-type actuator, it is to have a greater displacement and drive force. It requires an appropriate pre-stretch and drive voltage. To master the law between them is very important for production and application of membrane-type actuator.
