About the Company

Olsen Actuators was established in 2004 by Piers Olsen, a chartered engineer with over 30 years of experience. The organisation earned a world-class reputation within EM actuators and motion control technology and with a profound understanding of how to help the customer improve their applications.
Olsen Actuators offer so much more than components. We are a market leader in the customisation and integration of electromechanical systems, the team expertise is built into everything we supply, whether it’s a single actuator, a complex control system or full production of custom EM actuators with drives electronics validated to DO160G DO254 and DO178 in accordance with AS9100.
Our value is to assess the application long-term performance and provide solutions that are optimised for the present but also future-proof. You will be supported by our products and systems at every stage, from Concept to PDR to CDR and TRR combined with documentation through to commissioning and beyond.
For us, total product lifecycle is very important, so all of our components are tested in our in-house application simulation and testing facilities. We make extensive use of lifetime software modelling technology to ensure that our solutions always meet customers’ performance and duty cycle requirements.
We are committed to helping our customers save energy and all of our products and solutions are developed with this in mind. Since electric actuators only use electricity when moving, they are significantly more energy-efficient than their hydraulic and pneumatic counterparts. Quiet, reliable and effective, electric actuators are the best solution for almost every application.
