Abstract
A shape-memory actuator assembly, comprising a shape memory wire element; a first deflection body and a second deflection body, spaced apart from each other, wherein the shape memory wire element is wound around the first deflection body and the second deflection body several times and provides an actuator arrangement located between them. At least one wire holder on the respective deflection body and sections of the shape memory wire element, contacting the wire holder, are embedded in a casting compound.

A shape-memory actuator assembly, comprising:
- a shape memory wire element;
- a first deflection body and a second deflection body, spaced apart from each other,
- wherein the shape memory wire element is wound around the first deflection body and the second deflection body several times and provides an actuator arrangement located between them;
- wherein at least one wire holder on the respective deflection body, and sections of the shape memory wire element contacting the wire holder, are embedded in a casting compound.
An assembly method for manufacturing a shape-memory actuator assembly, comprising the steps of:
- multiple wrapping of an arrangement comprising a first deflection body and a second deflection body, which are spaced apart from each other, with a shape memory wire element to form an actuator arrangement;
- and
- embedding at least one wire holder on the respective deflection body, and sections of the shape memory wire element contacting the wire holder, in a casting compound.
