The Future of motion and actuating for industry, automation and automotive
An Actuator by mateligent nititec is a disruptive devicethat redefines how motion is created and applied.
Engineered as a modular toolkit, it enables to do all kind of new systems, driven bei SMA like vacuum-based handling for all non-porous materials – whether steel, glass, plastic, or aluminum; whether large, small, light, or heavy.
Without the need for pumps or pneumatics, the system delivers a lightweight, silent, and energy-efficient solution adaptable to a wide range of industrial applications. Designed for versatility, the nititec actuators allows engineers to adapt solutions precisely to their requirements, making automation and handling simpler, cleaner, and more efficient than ever before.
Sensor can give you safty: Gripped? Vacuum ready? Is the suction membrane wearing out?
Repeatable silent gripping over millions of cycles.
Only the diaphragm itself needs maintenance. And when does the sensor tell you.
Our drives are leading the way in energy-efficient automation
Bus system, with or without sensors, onboard intelligence, re-gripping with leakage compensation, or simple gripping only
Frequently Asked Questions

The SMA actuator itself weighs just a few grams and can rapidly generate forces of over 100 N. This means that a drive system with electronics can be built weighing less than 20 g. Our vacuum grippers from nitiec vacuum gripper weigh just 100 g.
Apart from standard products such as grippers, there is no set standard. Your specifications determine what we develop and supply.
The drive itself can withstand millions of cycles in a normal production environment.
The suction membranes are replaceable and will wear depending on the application.
For a vaccum gripper f.e. we like to put it this way: Less than one year of compressed air. Ultimately, the choice of drive system depends on your specific requirements. Value for money.
