Motion hardware for intelligent machines.
Actuat designs and builds the electric motors and integrated actuators that intelligent machines move on.
Capability
Everything that decides how a motor performs, in-house.
We design the magnetics, the mechanics, the electronics, and the control together, because a joint is one object and treating it as several is how compromises get made.
Electromagnetic design
Stator, winding, and magnetic circuit
Mechanical design
Rotor, bearings, structure, tolerances
Power electronics
Inverter, sensing, and drive
Embedded control
Firmware, commutation, telemetry
Test engineering
Instrumented rigs and measurement method
Manufacturing process
Fixturing, inspection, end-of-line test
First product
DM1 — A brushless outrunner motor for multirotor drones and aerial robotics.
In development. No unit has been built or tested, and every figure we publish is marked as a target until it comes off a bench.
Built for
Machines that have to move well.
Autonomous drones
Efficiency at the hover point sets endurance.
Aerial robotics
Platforms that manipulate, carry, or inspect.
High-performance FPV
Throttle response and thermal headroom under abuse.
Research platforms
Low-level control access and honest telemetry.
Robot joints
Compact actuation with position, velocity, and torque feedback.
Dexterous hands
Small, backdrivable drives for tightly packaged mechanisms.
Research and education
Instrumented hardware for controls, mechatronics, and embodied AI.
Robot competitions
Integrated motion hardware for fast prototype cycles.
