About Xynova
Xynova's linear actuators combine miniature motors and planetary roller screws to produce compact pushing and pulling motion. Its rotary modules integrate motor, gearbox, sensing and control, with planetary and harmonic transmission options. Common software interfaces support coordination of multiple modules within a robot.
The same actuation work feeds the Flex hand range. Flex 2 combines micro linear actuators with tendon transmission, replaceable skin and multimodal sensing for grasping and slip detection. Xynova offers both complete hands and customised electric-drive combinations, letting robot manufacturers integrate its components at the joint level or adopt a more complete manipulation assembly.
