Rotational/Direct Pull Shape Memory Actuator is an ideal solution for flap and vent mechanisms and is well suited for ice dispensing and vented areas in appliance applications. As designed, the actuator can support a rotation up to 55° or a direct pull of 0.158” (4.1mm). The actuator also incorporates a unique “compliancy” or “wedge proof” design that overrides and protects the product from jamming situations, offering silent and power-efficient performance. Tested to greater than 500,000 cycles of continuous operation.
About Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Wire Technology
Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Wire Actuation Devices use a particular alloy of high strength corrosion resistant Nitinol (Nickel Titanium) material that contracts 4% when heated. In most applications, the heat is conveniently and precisely generated by an electrical current. SMA wire is used reliably in a wide variety of applications including medical, computer, consumer, automotive and industrial products.
Benefits
In many applications, SMA wire provides actuation solutions that permit the elimination of solenoids and motors. They offer energy efficiency, lighter weight, space savings, cost savings and quiet operation while meeting the life cycling requirements of a wide variety of products. Autosplice provides robust SMA wire assembly solutions for your application!
