An actuator setup is disclosed which includes a body, at least one control surface located on the body for enabling to control the flow of fluid by moving relative to the body at least one actuator produced from an electro-active polymer material that is located between the body and the control surface and changes its form depending on electrical energy, thereby triggering the control surface, at least one strengthener located on the actuator, enabling the actuator to change its form, a strengthener located on the actuator so as to be in connection with the body and having a front strengthener and a rear strengthener located on the actuator so as to be oppositely positioned with the front strengthener.Another patent document is EP2233735A2 which forms part of the state of the art. EP2233735A2 is describing a wind turbine blade comprising a main blade body and trailing edge section movably connected to the main blade body. The wind turbine blade comprises an actuator structure for causing the trailing edge section of a blade to move relative to a main blade portion. The actuator structure comprises a stack of piezoelectric elements.The actuator setup (1) comprises a body (2), at least one control surface (3) located on the body (2), enabling to control the flow of fluid by moving relative to the body (2), at least one actuator (4) produced from an electro-active polymer material that is located between the body (2) and the control surface (3) and changes its form depending on electrical 5 energy, thereby triggering the control surface (3), at least one strengthener (5) located on the actuator (4), enabling the actuator (4) to change its form, and having a front strengthener (501) located on the actuator (4) so as to be in connection with the body (2) and a rear strengthener (502) located on the actuator (4) so as to be oppositely positioned 10 with the front strengthener (501).
