KINITICS KLA LINEAR ACTUATOR
The Kinitics Linear Actuator (KLA) is a shape memory-alloy based actuator that uses Bundled Wire technology to deliver high force and actuation speed in a small package. The Kinitics Linear Actuator can be easily configured to supply a pushing or pulling force. Due to the inherent lack of moving parts the actuator requires very little maintenance and produces very little noise. Position control is possible through the addition of a linear sensor while force control is possible through use of a strain gauge.
