In bionic applications, actuators must provide precise, repeatable motion while maintaining compactness and low weight to integrate seamlessly into wearable devices. They need to operate quietly and efficiently to ensure comfort during extended use, while also withstanding repeated cycles and dynamic loads over time.
Key challenges in Bionic Systems
Light weight and compact design combined with high performance
Intuitive and simple control
Smooth and quiet operation
User's safety and comfort
MA Series for Bionic Systems
MA Series actuators combine precision, compact design and durability, making them a good choice for bionic systems. Their zero-backlash gearing, high repeatability, and high torque density allow for achieving natural, smooth movements. The integration with MD Series motor controllers provides accurate and intuitive control of the actuators, while providing unique reliability, energy efficiency and precision.
For joints requiring higher torque without increasing size, MA-p Planetary actuators deliver compact, efficient power with a robust gear system. High torque density and good backdrivability provide powerful, but unobtrusive operation which improves user's comfort.
MA-h Harmonic actuators provide powerful and urestricted assistance to the users of wearablee devices owing to their high torque density. Their precise torque and position control offers adjusting these parameters to a specific application, which guarantees achieving accurate and natural motion.
The design of MA-hs Hollow Shaft actuators that minimizes clutter and saves space highly improves mobiliiy and flexibility of the system, contributing to smoother, more nttral motion. Allowing the cables and components to be routed internally additionally protects them from extensive wear.
The MA-d Direct Drive actuators are able to stabilize the bionic system thanks to their rapid response time and zero backlash. The actuators have compact design combined with high torque and energy efficiency, which allow for smooth and natural movements.

Example Use Cases
In my lab, we design and build rehabilitation exoskeletons. For such machines, we needed lightweight and powerful motors with precise control. This is why we started to collaborate with MAB Robotics in 2022 and continue, until now. Their user-tailored drives meet our very specific requirements and, thanks to the original libraries, become almost a plug-and-play product. Thanks to the motors' reliability and MAB's engagement in the integration process, we can easily prototype and test new concepts targeted at helping society!
