Attracting nearly 400 participants from more than 20 countries, the 17th International Conference on New Actuators has quickly become the most important forum to meet leading international specialists, to share their expertise and to start business co-operations in the field of new actuator technologies.

ACTUATOR has been the key forum promoting actuators based on smart materials and micro technologies as well as their applications in all areas of engineering for more than twenty years now. Over the years a huge variety of excellent ideas and results have been reported. A lot of them have been raised from vision to mass product.

Among the success stories you will find quite a number of established applications of new actuators, in particular their well-known use in fuel injection, adaptive shock absorbers, nanopositioning, precision engineering like cameras’ lenses and other applications of miniaturised drives.

In this way, ACTUATOR has launched new product generations with outstanding compactness and high performance properties which so far have not been achieved in conventional technologies. A small wonder that based on this ignition, resulting in gaining access to new markets.

ACTUATOR 2020, International Conference and Exhibition on New Actuators and Drive System is the 17th in a series of biennial conferences which for the first time will be held in Mannheim, Germany.

In 2018 Messe Bremen passed on the organisation of the ACTUATOR Conference to the VDE Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies. Within VDE, the GMM Society for Microelectronics, Microsystems and Precision Engineering will from that date on be responsible for the organization and the economic success of the conference. According to GMM’s business practice, the conference management will be in the hands of our members on voluntary basis.

leading experts, suppliers and users in the field of new actuators and low-power electromagnetic drives from all over the world. The invitation to attend ACTUATOR is directed at executives and researchers from industrial companies as well as institutes, colleges and universities, who are interested in the transfer of R&D results into innovative actuator applications and drive technologies.

Since 1992 the conference has focused on actuators based on smart materials and miniaturised electromagnetic drives.

At that time, silicon was found to be the basic material for a new promising trend: integrated systems including sensors and actuators based on semiconductor technology. Microsystem technology / MEMS had been born. Thus, there was a need for new thin film micro actuators based on smart materials like e. g. piezoelectric crystals, shape memory alloys, giant magnetostrictive materials.

ACTUATOR provides a forum for the presentation and the exchange of RTD results. Lots of new products have been presented in the meantime, showing a huge performance in a minimum volume, designed for industrial as well as home applications. Well-known examples are the autofocus lenses for cameras as well as the fuel injection systems, both based on piezo actuators. Karl Lubitz of SIEMENS AG, member of the Programme Committee summed up the role of ACTUATOR in this concern concisely: “ACTUATOR creates visions! Without the visions presented at previous ACTUATOR we would not have been able to manage the development of this product”.

In 2018 the event celebrated its 30th anniversary. We have handled about 2000 conference presentations published on 10,000 pages conference proceedings during these years – and we would appreciate to continue with your visions!
