During the last three years the company has developed a design and production-line of rotary and linear actuator units covering a wide range of strokes (sub millimeter to a few meters) and loading capacities (a few N to several MN). The mode of operation of these systems is either singular or combined covering a wide range of physical principles from mechanical, electro-mechanical, shape-morphing, hydraulic, servo-hydraulic, to piezoelectric and thermal. The actuators follow a modular design, which is optimised to provide maximum robustness (low compliance) and minimum number and complexity of components, therefore enhancing their synergetic operation even at high loads and vibration levels (i.e. a combined thermal-servo-hydraulic and piezoelectric linear actuator is able to follow low velocity creep phenomena (thermal actuation), medium velocity phenomena (hydraulic actuation) and high velocity (impact) phenomena (piezoelectric actuation) in a single mechanism. The design process comprises rigorous modelling techniques using adaptive FEA or BEA, parametric solid and structural modelling, homogenisation algorithms in multi-physics and stability analysis coupled with step-by-step experimental validation wherever required in order to meet the high-standard required.
