Linear Actuators
Our linear actuators deliver high-force, precision motion control for aerospace and industrial applications. Utilising roller screw technology, they offer superior load capacity and efficiency compared to hydraulic systems. Designed for harsh environments, these actuators ensure reliability with minimal maintenance, supporting industries requiring long lifecycle performance.
Rotary Actuators
Custom rotary actuators provide compact, high-torque solutions for aerospace and defence systems. Engineered to meet MIL and AERO specifications, they integrate seamlessly into limited-space applications. Our designs prioritise durability and precision, ensuring optimal performance in critical control mechanisms.
Drives
MIL and space-rated servo drives ensure precise control in demanding environments. Compatible with various feedback systems, these drives offer ultra-fast performance and flexibility. Engineered for reliability, they support aerospace, defence, and industrial applications with robust power electronics.
Roller Screws
High-load roller screws replace traditional ball screws, providing enhanced dynamic capacity and reduced input torque. Ideal for aerospace and industrial machinery, these components ensure longevity and efficiency. Customisable designs meet specific application requirements, including extreme conditions.
Custom Design
We develop bespoke electro-mechanical systems for unique challenges. From concept to delivery, our engineers collaborate to create mission-critical actuators and drives. Specialising in rapid prototyping and validation, we ensure solutions align with client specifications and industry standards.
