Rotary drive

Goal

Development of an all-electric, quiet, lightweight, highly efficient #rotary drive or #linear drive for smallest installation spaces, proportional and above all currentless holding in intermediate positions.

Outlook

Due to the scalability in size, stroke and power as well as interchangeable gear elements, the drive can be adapted to numerous requirements in terms of stroke, power and angle. Integration of health monitoring and monitoring using self-sensing are on board.

Mateligent nititec GmbH is a subsidiary of mateligent GmbH and is bringing this technology into series production.

SMA actuators have the highest known density of performance and installation space. With a wire that is only 500 micrometers thin, you can lift 10 kg. The wire carries and actuates 10,000 times its own weight. When operated correctly, SMA drives are very energy-efficient and the installation space is a lot better than electromagnets, motors, electromagnetic drives or proportional magnets. Weight and energy savings are enormous. At the same time, the actuator itself can function as a precise sensor. Whether 6V, 12V, 24V, the electronics reliably regulate the actuator. LIN bus, CAN bus, Profibus or I/O link, everything is possible.

Result

-Proportionally working FGL drive
-Mechanics in translation with translation in rotation 0-100°
-Extremely light with a total weight of less than 40g
-Kept de-energized in any intermediate position
-Self-sensing
-Rotation Angle Detection
-Preliminary maintenance
-LIN bus on board
-I/O bus or Industry 4.0 ready
