On March 28th, 2023 a technical article outlining the roadmap for the standardization of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for use in actuators was published. Co-authored by Kinitics Automation, the article focuses on
Testing performed at the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre (ETC) Lab at the University of Calgary found the Kinitics Valve Actuator (KVA) to be highly precise and capable for processes typically seen in industry applications.
Shape Memory Alloy based linear actuators have the potential to serve numerous applications that call for high force, low weight, and/or high precision. With very little fanfare a special class
