Shape Memory Alloys/Nitinol Components

Shape Memory Alloys/Nitinol Components

Shape Memory/Formgedaechtnislegierungen/Nitinol Alloys materials are capable of remembering a previously memorized shape and exert a useful force or support very high deformations, up to 10%, thanks to their Superelasticity properties.

Component makers can use SmartFlex® Nitinol wires and springs to simplify products, add new functions, upgrade performance, improve reliability and cut down component costs, while significantly reducing mechanical complexity and size.

Crimping Solutions

If your application requires an electro-mechanical termination we can offer different crimp solutions according to your requirements. Our standard solutions are specified below. For new design we are available to study and develop customized parts. Crimped SmartFlex Nitinol wires can be ordered both for prototypes and large volume production.

Barrel crimps
for wires from 50 mm to 200 mm
Ring-type crimps
for wires from 200 mm to 300 mm
Rounded crimps
for wires from 300 mm
to 500 mm
