The SMA8110 is a portable 8-channel Shape Memory Alloy’s (SMA) electrical actuator. It enables actuation of SMA by Joule heating. The auto mode allows it to run in-loop along with a host PC and a data acquisition card, whereas manual adjustments are allowed in the manual mode. It has applications in SMA wire actuation.

1. The SMA8110 is a portable 8-channel Shape Memory Alloy’s (SMA) electrical actuator.
It enables actuation of SMA by Joule heating. The auto mode allows it to run in-loop along with a host PC and a data
acquisition card, whereas manual adjustments are allowed in the manual mode. It has applications in SMA actuation.
