A one-degree of freedom mechanical model of a torsional micro-or nano-electro-mechanical system (MEMS/NEMS) actuator was presented. With the capillary force taken into consideration, the critical tilting angle and the pull-in voltage of the torsional MEMS/NEMS actuator were investigated, respectively. The size-dependent critical tilting angle of the torsional MEMS/NEMS actuator was illustrated, and the modified factor of the pull-in voltage was derived. When there was not electrostatic force induced by the applied voltage in the system, the instabilities of the torsional MEMS/NEMS actuator caused by capillary effects were studied. The instability criterion of the actuator was presented, and the critical gap distance, gcr, between the mainplate and the substrate was derived.
