Helping you dig deeper
Our Nitinol actuator calculator is designed to help you explore possibilities for your application. Since actuators are preconditioned wires engineered for specific uses, not all of the outputs generated by this calculator are practically feasible. When you’re ready to discuss details with our engineering team or if your calculated diameter exceeds the range or the load eclipses of the recommended application stress range, please contact your Sales Representative to discuss how we might help you.

At Fort Wayne Metals, we are constantly working to improve the quality, capability, and range of our products to better serve our customers. If you have stranding and cabling needs, our updated Strand Cable Configurator below can help you calculate construction options based on construction required breakload and diameter limits. If you are looking for complete custom sizing, materials, functionality, and properties, we can do that, too. Please contact our engineers to assist in your application-specific needs.
