The miniaturization trend of electronic devices and precision equipment is fueling the demand for compact, high-precision electric actuators. A pioneering actuator manufacturer has developed a new series of miniature electric actuators with a body diameter of only 5mm, making them suitable for installation in space-constrained equipment such as semiconductor test fixtures and medical devices.
Despite their small size, the actuators offer a positioning accuracy of ±0.01° and a torque range of 0.5 N·m to 5 N·m, outperforming traditional miniature actuators (±0.1° accuracy). They adopt a brushless DC motor design, reducing noise to below 35dB and extending service life to 10 million cycles. The product supports PWM speed control and multiple communication interfaces (I2C, SPI), enabling seamless integration into compact automation systems.
In a Japanese semiconductor factory, the actuators were used in wafer inspection equipment, improving inspection precision by 20% and reducing equipment size by 30%. They are also widely applied in medical devices such as surgical robots and diagnostic equipment, where space and precision are critical. The global miniature electric actuator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2026 to 2030, reaching $950 million by 2030.
