Why Robots Need Linear Actuators
While rotary motors are fundamental to robotics, mimicking biological movement—particularly in humanoids and sophisticated service robots—often requires direct linear motion.
Nature doesn't rely solely on rotation at the joint. Muscles pull linearly to create articulation. To achieve realistic, compact, and high-torque movement in fingers, arms, and torsos, relying only on rotary servos with complex, bulky gearing systems is inefficient. FIRGELLI linear actuators provide direct push/pull forces, allowing engineers to design push-rod mechanisms and tendon-driven systems that fit into tight envelopes where rotary motors simply cannot. They are essential for creating bio-mimetic motion, locking positions without power, and providing high force density in compact spaces.
FIRGELLI Robotics Actuator Categories
We supply a diverse range of linear motion solutions scaled for different robotic Nik subsystems, from delicate grippers to load-bearing chassis components.
Micro Actuators (Hands, Fingers, End-Effectors)
For applications where space is at an absolute premium and fine control is paramount.
• Micro Pen Actuators: Finger-sized linear actuators designed for incredibly tight spaces like robotic phalanges or delicate gripping mechanisms.
• Micro Utility Actuators (Coming Soon): The next evolution in compact power, offering versatile mounting options for small-scale robotic articulation.
Compact Actuators (Grippers, Assist Joints, Neck Motion)
Mid-range solutions offering a balance of speed, force, and compact footprint. Ideal for actuating secondary joints, camera gimbals, or assisting rotary primary joints.
High-Force Actuators (Knees, Torso, Load Paths)
Heavy-duty actuators designed to handle the structural loads of service robots and humanoids. These are essential for knee joints, waist actuation, and center-of-gravity shifting mechanisms.
Control Feedback: The Precision You Need
In robotics, moving is only half the battle. Knowing exactly where you are is critical. Open-loop systems are insufficient for autonomous operation.
FIRGELLI understands that closed-loop control is non-negotiable for advanced robotics. Our key robotics actuator lines feature integrated, high-precision Hall Effect sensors.
• Fine Motion Control: The Hall sensors provide precise positional feedback to your controller, allowing for micro-adjustments, smooth acceleration curves, and accurate repeatability.
• Controller Compatibility: Our feedback systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with standard robotics control architecture, including ROS (Robot Operating System) based controllers, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and industrial PLCs.
Robotics Use Cases
FIRGELLI motion systems are currently deployed across diverse sectors of the robotics landscape.
• Humanoid Robots: Providing the "musculature" for realistic limb articulation, hand gesturing, and stabilization.
• Service & Delivery Robots: Actuating lids, locking mechanisms, variable height adjustments, and interaction arms.
