The Firgelli miniature linear actuators will drive a new generation of compact robots, motion-enabled medical devices, and consumer products. Smaller than a cigarette, these cylindrical actuators provide efficient piston-like linear motion. They are designed to save product designers the difficulties of engineering a linear stage from large and awkward motors, servos, gears, and rods.

The family of Firgelli actuators delivers between 1 and 10 lbs. of linear push/pull force from a 3- or 5-VDC input. The actuators offer customizable stroke lengths from 1² to 3² at speeds up to 1² per second. Other features include internal end-of-stroke limit switches, configurable force sensing and force overload shutoff, and optional closed-loop position control for simplified system design.

Firgelli actuators are priced at less than $3 in volume. Firgelli also customizes its standard actuators (size, speed, force, or stroke length) to meet OEM customer needs.
