Description
The BIOMETAL 4-WIRE is a high-performance shape memory alloy (SMA) wire designed
for advanced motion control applications. Made from Nickel-Titanium (NiTi), this wire contracts
when electrically heated and returns to its original form when cooled, mimicking natural muscle
movements. Its 4-wire configuration enhances precision, control, and reliability, making it ideal
for robotics, prosthetics, industrial automation, and micro-actuators where traditional motors
and hydraulics may be impractical.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Muscle-Like Movement – Functions similarly to biological muscles, enabling precise and smooth motion.
✅ Compact & Lightweight – Ideal for applications requiring minimal space and weight.
✅ Silent Operation – Unlike traditional motors, it operates without noise, making it perfect for discreet or medical applications.
✅ High Precision Control – Allows for fine-tuned movement, essential in robotics and prosthetics.
✅ Durability & Longevity – Designed for thousands to millions of cycles, ensuring long-term reliability.
✅ Low Power Consumption – Operates efficiently at low voltages (1.5V to 5V), reducing energy requirements.
✅ Flexible Design – Can be shaped and configured for various custom applications.
