Agriculture is evolving into a data-driven industry where autonomous machines are driving competitiveness and sustainability. From soil preparation to harvesting, robotics and AI-driven autonomous systems are transforming the agriculture industry. Machines which will be used in these processes require actuators with specialized capabilities - powerful enough for driving heavy machines, with good accuracy and dynamics for handling and processing delicate crops, and almost in all applications for the industry - capable to operate outdoors, in harsh environments. MA Series actuators are the answer for these requirements.

Agriculture places unique demands on robotics and automation. Machines for crop and farming industry must operate reliably - often in unpredictable and harsh environments. Precision in repetitive tasks is required, and energy-efficient help to ensure sustainability and to maximize productivity.

MA Series for Agriculture

MA Series actuators combine robustness with precision, which makes them well suited for agricultural applications. Their compact design allows seamless integration into any robotics platform - from precise robotics arms to heavy-duty machinery. Their durable construction ensures reliable operation in any environment. MAB actuators are meant to meet the challenges of modern agriculture, providing the specification that improves the efficiency and reliability.

For robots operating in mud, rain or dusty fields, the IP66-rated actuators of the MA-p series deliver high torque while maintaining full protection against water and dust ingress. This ensures stable performance even under the toughest outdoor conditions.

MA-h actuators with harmonic reducer are made for the most demanding applications that require sharp precision and repeatability, while their high torque density and robust design enhances actuators’ lifespan and reliability in demanding conditions.

When routing wires or hoses through moving joints, MA-hs Hollow Shaft actuators provide a central passage, simplifying integration and reducing the risk of damage while maintaining full actuator performance.

Applications like rapid positioning of sensors or small mechanisms are ideal for MA-d series actuators. Their low mass, zero-backlash gearing and high speed enable fast, precise movements without compromising efficiency.

Example Use Cases

We chose MAB motors for our extremely robust CURTmini outdoor robots because the motor controllers combine high performance with simple plug-and-play functionality. ROS2 drivers are available and maintained and the controllers are extremely reliable. Setup only takes a few minutes. MAB motors have become the standard for our CURTmini. They make our CURTmini better than ever.
