Microhydraulic Motors
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2021 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: MIT Lincoln Laboratory MIT Lincoln Laboratory
United States
Product Description:Microhydraulic motors provide a new way of making things move on a microscale. These motors offer high torque density in a small package, often exceeding the torque of normal inductive motors of a similar size by two orders of magnitude.
