Linear Actuator replaces motors and solenoids.

Press Release Summary:




Modular SMA Shape Memory Alloy Actuator, Model DM-01, features output force over 5 lb, ac or dc activation, and direct linear motion. Totally non-magnetic, lightweight unit offers completely silent movement and activates with low shock. It can replace motors and solenoids in applications such as latch release mechanisms, door and cabinet locking/unlocking, air-duct/vane positioning, robotics, and resettable/reusable pyrotechnic actuator replacement.



Original Press Release:



Miga Motors Offers New SMA Actuator Designed to Replace Motors and Solenoids



MIGA MOTOR COMPANY, a U.S. manufacturer of SMA Devices, has developed an innovative modular SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) actuator. The DM-01 actuator provides a large stroke in a small package with a high degree of design flexibility. The DM-01 Miniature Actuator is strong, lightweight, silent, fast acting and has low power requirements.

MIGA Motor's SMA Actuators have many advantages over motors and solenoids including their planarity, scalability, low weight, high output force (over 5 pounds of force, constant with stroke), very high strength-to-weight ratio, AC or DC activation, long life and direct linear motion.

Other key advantages of MIGA Motors SMA Actuators are:
o they activate with low shock
o they are totally non-magnetic
o their movement is completely silent
o they are less than 10% the weight and volume of a comparable motor or solenoid

The DM-01 SMA Actuator can replace motors and solenoids in a variety of applications such as: solenoid and relay replacement, latch-release mechanisms, door and cabinet locking/unlocking, air-duct/vane positioning, robotics, resettable/reusable pyrotechnic actuator replacement.

Delivery of the MIGA MOTOR DM-01 Miniature Actuator is 3 weeks ARO. Pricing at the 25-unit level is $49.50 each. Please consult factory for quantity pricing. MIGA's patented actuators can be custom designed to meet your specific requirements. Visit their website: www.MIGAmotors.com for detailed specifications.
