Our current product range
Wire rethought – so-called shape memory alloys (SMA) form the basis of our ae-smart products
- ae-smart wire (blank, coated, knurled)
- ae-smart components (crimped, contacted)
- ae-smart springs
- ae-smart individual – components specially adapted to your needs
Our offer to you
- We develop shape memory semi-finished products and shape memory components precisely tailored to your requirements
- We support the use of shape memory components in your product development through:
– Feasibility studies
– Innovation and integration consulting
– Construction of prototypes
– Testing and qualification of shape memory materials and components
A wide range of applications, e.g. in aviation, industry, automotive, medical technology, etc.
What is special about shape memory components?
- Shape memory alloys (SMA) are exceptional materials that can perform a wide range of tasks.
- SMA have two main effects: the mechanical effect (spring/damping elements) and the thermal effect (actuators/connectors).
- After a deformation of 8% (steel approx. 0.2%), shape memory wires always return to their original shape.
- Shape memory components have the greatest weight-specific working capacity of all known actuator principles.
- Unique and novel designs can be realised through the use of shape memory components.
Shape memory alloys as problem solvers in your products, processes and services!
