The actuator "FG-ONE"
The FG-ONE is a plug & play actuator based on shape memory alloys. It can ideally be used for unlocking and positioning tasks. In doing so, it can achieve a nominal stroke of up to 4.5 mm with forces of up to 15 N. Its robust design is equipped with overload protection so that it automatically detects a system overload. The FG-ONE can also be used as a linear or proportional actuator. Its electrical resistance signal or an external sensor can be used for position control.
The FG-ONE operates according to the proven principle of an “arc” actuator, where the FG wire is loaded centrally.
