Product
Problem
Engineers and product developers often need motors and actuators tailored to specific performance, size, and integration requirements, but standard off-the-shelf components rarely fit perfectly. Custom motion control solutions traditionally involve lengthy sales cycles, high minimum order quantities, and significant engineering overhead, making bespoke hardware slow and expensive to procure.
Solution
Open Actuation provides an online actuator configurator that lets customers design and order custom motors and actuators directly, bypassing traditional sales negotiations. The platform streamlines the specification-to-order process, enabling engineers to select parameters and receive a purpose-built product without excessive lead times or cost premiums. The company currently delivers custom drone motors and frameless motors, with custom rotary actuators in development and planned for release. This self-service approach makes tailored motion control accessible to a broader range of engineering teams and applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering teams and product developers in the drone, robotics, automation, and related motion control industries who need custom motors and actuators without the cost and delay of traditional bespoke procurement.
