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.
