Kinitics Automation manufactures Linear Actuators and Piston Pumps based on shape memory alloys. Electrically powered and highly accurate, Kinitics enables a new generation of automation and control.
Kinitics Linear Actuators & Piston Pumps work from electricity alone,
without the need for costly and maintenance-intensive hydraulic or pneumatic infrastructure.
Kinitics Linear Actuators and Piston Pumps use shape memory alloy and Bundled Wire technology, and are suitable for a wide range of applications.
Kinitics Linear Actuators offer high force in a small package that requires little infrastructure to implement.

Kinitics Automation Limited | Richmond, BC
Kinitics Automation is based near Vancouver, BC with roots in the automotive and power-generation industry as part of Biperformance Development Corporation. During that company’s endeavours to develop a small and lightweight clutch actuator for its automatic and semi-automatic motorcycle transmission products, it became clear that conventional fluid power technologies could not produce the needed results; thus the first Kinitics Piston Pump was born.
