These devices find success in various fields, such as lightweight disposable devices, compact life science instrumentation, and precise dosing systems.<\/p>\n<p>SMA devices can handle both gases and liquids, minimizing dead volumes and offering state-of-the-art precision in controlling fluid flows within miniaturized patterns. SmartFlex wires in the range of 20 microns to 200 microns are ideal for such applications, while Clean Melt wires can be provided for fatigue-rated applications.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"space space-l\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"space space-l greyed\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <div class=\"container overlay-container carousel-container ratio-1-1 greyed\">\n      <div class=\"col-12\">\n      <div class=\"d-md-flex justify-content-between align-items-end\">\n        <h3 class=\"h3 title mw-70pc\">Discover the most advanced solutions for this application<\/h3>\n                  <a class=\"btn desktop-tablet-only\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/solutions\/\">\n            <span class='the-arrow -left'>\n              <span class='shaft'><\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"main\">\n              <span class=\"text\">All solutions<\/span>\n              <span class='the-arrow -right'>\n                <span class='shaft'><\/span>\n              <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"circle-effect\"><\/span>\n          <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n      <div class=\"four-columns-carousel owl-carousel\">\n                  <div class=\"item\">\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/solution\/smartflex-wires\/\">\n        \n      <div class=\"overlay-container\">\n       <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/smartflex-424x424.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/smartflex-424x424.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/smartflex-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/smartflex-54x54.jpg 54w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/smartflex-767x767.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/smartflex-880x880.jpg 880w\" alt=\"smartflex\">\n       <div class=\"gradient-light solution\"><\/div>\n      <\/div><p class=\"medium half-margin solution-title\"><span>Smartflex Wires<\/span><i class=\"fal fa-plus\"><\/i><\/p>      <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"item\">\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/solution\/smartflex-microsprings\/\">\n        \n      <div class=\"overlay-container\">\n       <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/SMA_microsprings_02-424x424.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/SMA_microsprings_02-424x424.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/SMA_microsprings_02-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/SMA_microsprings_02-54x54.jpg 54w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/SMA_microsprings_02-767x767.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/SMA_microsprings_02-880x880.jpg 880w\" alt=\"SMA_microsprings_02\">\n       <div class=\"gradient-light solution\"><\/div>\n      <\/div><p class=\"medium half-margin solution-title\"><span>Smartflex Microsprings<\/span><i class=\"fal fa-plus\"><\/i><\/p>      <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"space space-xl greyed\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":450,"template":"","application_category":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Medical &amp; Lifescience | SAES Industrial - Shape Memory Alloys<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) materials are ideal for fluid control applications like miniaturized valves, actuators, and pumps due to their light and compact design, precision, low power use, and silent operation.
