Linear actuators production and automation company today? “Actuator” is a fancy word for any device that moves. Actuators are the fundamental components responsible for generating movement and force in all mechanical devices and machines. For example, actuators can be used to automatically open and close valves for an industrial process or to drive the controlled movement of a robotic arm. Actuators can also be found in consumer devices–the vibration of your phone comes from a compact haptic actuator. Actuators aren’t just found in human-made systems; in fact, our muscles are a great example of a high performance and versatile actuator.
The term “artificial muscle” is often used as an umbrella term for various soft actuator technologies that use bioinspired design – for instance in their structure, materials, or operating principles — to achieve muscle-like performance. HASEL artificial muscles, the proprietary soft actuator technology behind Artimus Robotics, are able to achieve life-like performance with electrically controlled hydraulic structures. HASEL actuator technology offers a combination of lightweight materials, low power requirements, and controllable output and can be implemented in a variety of form factors and actuation modes. Artificial muscles are finding applications in a wide range of fields such as biomedical devices, industrial automation, virtual and augmented reality, national defense, and many more!
HASEL actuators provide the conversion of electrical to mechanical energy, eliminating the need for pneumatic systems. Artimus Robotics provides world class engineering and design solutions to your application. We will bring forward your vision of soft actuation. Our ability to grip objects is something we use incredibly frequently, and sometimes repetitively. In areas like manufacturing, there has been an introduction of ‘soft robotics’ which aims to focus on minimizing the need for humans to undertake certain types of dangerous or difficult manual labor.

HASEL (Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing ELectrostatic) actuator technology operates when electrostatic forces are applied to a flexible polymer pouch and dielectric liquid to drive shape change in a soft structure. These principles can be applied to achieve a contracting motion, expanding motion, or other complex deformations. HASEL actuator technology is electrically driven and couples electrostatic and hydraulic forces so a wide variety of actuation modes are possible. Currently, we offer custom engineered HASEL actuators to drop into your human-machine solution. Our technology is completely electrically controlled and offers extremely diverse motion; perfect for your human-machine interface applications.
Artimus Robotics engineers, designs, and manufactures connected hardware which offers intelligent lifelike motion for the next generation of automation, robotics, and consumer devices. We make a meaningful and positive impact on the way the world moves for the benefit of both individuals and society. Interested in purchasing only one HASEL actuator?
