Actuator calculator

Our Nitinol actuator calculator is designed to help you explore possibilities for your application. Since actuators are preconditioned wires engineered for specific uses, not all of the outputs generated by this calculator are practically feasible. When you’re ready to discuss details with our engineering team or if your calculated diameter exceeds the range or the load eclipses of the recommended application stress range, please contact your Sales Representative to discuss how we might help you.
