Ultra Motion actuators are consistently relied on for thrust vector control of rocket engines due to their exceptional mechanical reliability, high power density, and dynamic performance capabilities.

The company’s actuators have been integral to the engine control systems of several successful first-stage orbital rockets, while its vacuum-compatible actuators have demonstrated flawless performance across multiple in-space missions.

Ultra Motion’s products excel in withstanding the severe conditions of launch, providing sophisticated control, offering detailed telemetry, and achieving position bandwidths exceeding 15 Hz.
