Kinitics actuators and pumps
Delivering force, pressure, and reliability — one shape memory alloy platform behind four product families.
- Zero deadband — gentler on turbines and surrounding equipment
- 100% duty cycle
- High force and precise motion
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Electric operation, versatile control options
- Suitable for extreme environments
- Certified for hazardous locations
- Compliant with emission regulations
— The lineup
One shape memory alloy platform, four products
KVA38
Valve actuator
Zero-deadband, spring-loaded electric valve actuator — replaces methane-venting pneumatics for reliable process valve control.
KLA
Linear actuator
High force-to-size ratio with forces up to 650 N. One moving part — the rod — means minimal maintenance and near-silent operation.
KPP
Piston pumps
Rated to 100 bar (1450 psi). Add a linear or pressure sensor for displacement, flow, or direct pressure control.
KRA
Rotary actuator
Direct-drive, rotary actuators for aerospace, with torque classes up to 200 N·m.
Kinitics feature comparison
Inside Kinitics products are a platform technology based on Shape Memory Alloys.
- Position control
- The actuator can follow a moving position target
- Maintain peak force
- The actuator can maintain peak output
- Direct action
- The internal drive can be direct-connected to the external load
- Self-powered
- The actuator works without ancillary equipment such as pumps, valves, etc.
Force meets displacement
Every actuation technology trades off force against travel. Kinitics’ shape memory alloy platform is the only one that covers the middle ground — real force, real travel, no compressors or hydraulics required.
