nitinol shape memory wire
Sizes:0.1mm-7.0mm
Aplication : Widely used in the dental arch wire, interventional stent wire, surgical sutures, medical guide wire,
eyeglass frames, mobile phone antennas and bra stand.
Advantages: small size, light weight, low power, a very high strength-to-weight ratio, precise control, AC or DC activation, long life, and direct linear action. These features let you create whole categories of amazing new devices that would be difficult or impossible to do with anything else.
When in use a muscle wire can be stretched up to 8 percent of its length and still recover. However, this can only be done a few times until it breaks or stops returning to its original length. Its life cycle can be extended dramatically if it is stretched to between 3 to 5 percent of its overall length. Within this range it will go through the stretching and return cycle millions of times
We produce a wide variety of NiTi components to meet your unique requirements.In addition,many standard items are in stock.
