Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) materials find extensive applications in household appliances, offering compact, silent, and reliable solutions for various functions. From rinse aid dispensing and door locking to defrost systems and fluid control, SMAs provide versatile solutions for fluid control, temperature switches, lock and release mechanisms.

Their integrability in existing structures, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliability make SMAs highly suitable for household appliances. SmartFlex wires are utilized in mono, bistable, and proportional actuators, while SmartFlex springs provide the most compact and reliable solution for temperature-driven thermostatic actuators.
