Microactuators

Microactuators are tiny devices that produce movement or force on a very small scale, often at the microscopic level. They are used in technologies like medical devices, sensors, and robotic systems to control precise motions such as opening a valve, moving a tiny mirror, or positioning components. Despite their small size, they function similarly to larger actuators, using various energy sources like electricity, heat, or magnetic fields to generate movement. Microactuators enable highly accurate and responsive operations in miniaturized systems, critical for advanced applications in healthcare, electronics, and manufacturing.
