The project challenge is to find an accurate method for deciding optimal diameter and thickness of SILA’s novel magnet arrays to provide a given force.
When scaling SILA for greater output force, the ability to optimise deployment of heavy magnetic material is important because mobile applications are mass-critical.
Characteristics unique to the SILA technology allows sensing through the actuator mechanism.
The application space for high performance linear actuation is expanding rapidly
“I never thought I’d find the actuator I’ve been looking for, here on my doorstep.”
Following our trip to Iceland to demonstrate SILA P6 to Ossur, we’re working with Alastair Flew at Electro Kinetic Designs to tune SILA for Ossur evaluation.
