30 June–1 July 2026, Wiesbaden, Germany
The ACTUATOR Conference 2026

ACTUATOR 2026, the 20th International Conference on New Actuator Systems and Applications will take place in Wiesbaden, Germany, on June 30 – July 01, 2026. ACTUATOR is a major biennial event bringing together 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 aimed 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. 

With about 200 participants from more than 20 countries, the 20th International Conference on New Actuator Systems and Applications has been the most important place 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 for actuators based on smart materials and micro technologies as well as their applications in all areas of engineering for thirty 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 camera lenses and other applications of miniaturized drives. In this way, ACTUATOR has launched the realization of new product generations with outstanding compactness and high performance properties which so far have not been achieved in conventional technologies. A tremendous success story, culminating in the conquest of new markets!
