Smart Materials

In cooperation with various partners from industry and research, we develop innovative products, especially using shape memory alloys (SMA). With this smart material, actuator systems as well as sensors and damping systems can be implemented. In addition to their robustness, SMA-based systems are characterized by a small installation space requirement, low weight and noiseless operation. SMA also have a self-diagnostic function, so that digitization efforts down to component level are supported by using this extraordinary material.

  • Development of actuator, sensor and damping systems, especially for the renewable energy sector
  • Development of components based on shape memory alloys (SMA)
  • Development of new connection systems with self-diagnosis function
  • Carrying out of feasibility studies and validation tests
