Shape Memory Alloy Valves
Sandur Fluid Controls Pvt. Ltd. offers innovative Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Valves engineered for ultra-compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient fluid and gas control applications. Utilizing the unique properties of shape memory alloys, these valves deliver precise actuation, low power consumption, silent operation, and exceptional miniaturization capabilities for advanced medical, aerospace, laboratory, analytical, microfluidic, and portable device applications.
Unlike conventional solenoid or motor-driven valves, Shape Memory Alloy Valves use smart metal actuators that change shape when electrically energized, enabling highly efficient and compact valve operation with minimal moving parts.
These valves are ideal for:
Designed for next-generation fluid control applications, SMA valves offer reliable operation, silent performance, and exceptional design flexibility where size, weight, and energy efficiency are critical.
Shape Memory Alloy Valves utilize smart alloy materials, typically Nickel-Titanium (Nitinol), that return to a predetermined shape when heated by electrical current.
This unique actuation technology enables:
These valves are commonly used for:
The SMA actuator directly controls the valve mechanism, eliminating bulky solenoids, motors, and complex mechanical assemblies.
