Custom Actuators
ARQUIMEA designs and develops custom actuators under request, based on smart materials, for super-elastic applications and ready to work under extreme environmental conditions, according to our Clients’ specifications.
Our main heritage resides in low-shock, non-explosive, SMA triggered linear and rotary mechanisms for space applications, but our mechanisms have also been demanded by other sectors, such as automotive, industrial or medical.
