    It is essential for the Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) research industry to introduce novel concepts of micro motors to overcome problems in existing micro motors. This paper propose a novel concept of a micro motor using kink actuators and reciprocating rack and pinion assembly. Design details of the reciprocating rack and pinion is discussed in the paper. A detailed analysis of structural, transient, thermal, electrical properties was performed using the COMSOL software is also discussed. Finally a fabrication method is purposed using electron beam lithography and ultraviolet lithography.
