Delivering reliability
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. It can be easily configured to supply a pushing or pulling force, and due to the inherent lack of moving parts the actuator requires very little maintenance.

Product selection chart
This chart shows the relationship between rated force and travel for the KLA05 Kinitics Linear Actuator. Actuator travel, or stroke, depends on the travel modifier incorporated into the actuator, which in turn impacts the allowable operating force.
— Control
Kinitics controllers for the KLA
Kinitics controllers simplify using Kinitics linear actuators and piston pumps by interfacing easily with PLCs, control switches, relays, and standard I/O cards. Closed- and open-loop control using one or several inputs allows for a high degree of accuracy and repeatability while maintaining the actuator within recommended safety limits.
