The most compact and energy-efficient electromagnetic actuators
Traditional reluctance actuators promised high force density and energy efficiency, but were deemed impossible to control precisely. Fluxthor solved this. Our patented reluctance tuning technology and system integration with our electronics delivers the power of reluctance with plug-and-play simplicity. The result: actuators that outperform voice coils in force density and energy efficiency, while offering significantly more stroke than piezo actuators, without the integration headaches.
Our Products
From standard off-the-shelf reluctance actuators to fully integrated motion systems, Fluxthor's product line adjusts with your needs. Standard units ship in weeks. Custom configurations developed in rapid collaboration with our engineering team. All backed by controllers, drivers, and software designed specifically to solve reluctance actuators. Reluctance actuators deliver the highest force-density of all electromagnetic actuators, with or without permanent magnets.
-
A pure reluctance actuator consisting solely of ferromagnetic material, coils, and a compliant mechanism, requiring no rare-earth magnets.
-
The hybrid reluctance actuator combines ferromagnetic material, permanent magnets, coils, and a compliant mechanism into a hybrid reluctance actuator. By leveraging permanent magnet bias flux, it achieves a much higher motor constant of the actuator at equivalent dimensions, delivering superior energy efficiency, reduced heat generation, and improved thermal performance.
-
The Reluctance Tuning Actuator represents the pinnacle of reluctance actuator technology. Built on Fluxthor’s patented reluctance tuning technology, it combines ferromagnetic material, permanent magnets, coils, and a compliant mechanism to deliver the highest precision achievable from any electromagnetic actuator in its class.

Customizations to fit towards your applications are possible due to the expertise across the whole spectrum of reluctance actuators. Want to see reluctance actuators being used in your system but don’t see fit with our existing products? Talk with our engineers to see how we can help you.
About us
Fluxthor emerged from breakthrough research at TU Delft, one of Fluxthor’s founders invented reluctance tuning technology, now protected by multiple patents. Today, our Delft-based team engineers precision actuators for semiconductor equipment, optical systems, and scientific instruments across Europe. Every unit is assembled and tested in-house before delivery. Our first customers are already integrating Fluxthor actuators into next-generation systems.
