Summary/Abstract: In the first part of the paper, the "smart materials" that can be used in the design of new types of actuators are presented and details of their properties, available on the market and the types of alloys that react under the action of temperature or can be controlled electrically are explained. In the second part of the paper, some of the results of testing an actuator with a smart material, which was designed and made by the author of this paper, are presented. This actuator is actuated using a smart material, namely nitinol. This smart material (nitinol) is powered at different currents in order to become active.
