Abstract
An outline of the design and technical policy of a small specialist company, which has defined for itself a particular niche in the wide field of the various types and applications of actuators, is presented. A high proportion of design effort goes into contacts with customers, both selling expertise to them and receiving feedback of their needs. The aim is a simple economical product, made more versatile by modular enhancements.
