We are a Munich based tech Start-up, founded in 2018. Our core competence covers ultra-dynamic and space/ weight saving linear force actuators. The MetisMotion technology platform combines decades of experience in actuator development for challenging automotive and industrial applications. We are further addressing diverse use-cases, spanning from aviation to robotics. Compared to conventional linear actuators, our actuators are up to 80% smaller and lighter and respond up to 10x faster. In addition, they bring inherent sensing capabilities, which would not be readily available in electromagnetic, hydraulic or pneumatic solutions. This allows our solutions to drive the electrification of hydraulics for the Industry 4.0 revolution.
