Actuat Inc.

Motion hardware for intelligent machines.

Actuat designs and builds the electric motors and integrated actuators that intelligent machines move on.

Brushless outrunner · Exploded assemblySchematic — not to scale
Exploded cross-section of a brushless outrunner: mounting base, stator, windings, shaft, bearings, magnets, rotor bell, retaining hardware, motor wires, and propeller interface. The drawing shows how the parts relate, not their dimensions — none of which are fixed.

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

DM1A 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.

Specifications

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.
