Top of Applications

Transportation

Automatic oil valve adjusting equipment for Shinkansen
SMA spring opens/closes the two way valve unit of Automatic oil valve adjusting equipment for gear box according to oil temperature, the volume of oil flow lubricating the pinion gears is optimized. This system prevents the oil temperature from rising at the high speed travelling, and gives the Shinkansen stable run. It is used in the newest Shinkansen Nozomi-500 and 700 series.

Automobile application

Automatic opening/closing of automobile fog lamp cover.
Noise reduction system for manual transmission gears.
Outer vent control valve.
Drain system for motorcycle muffler to prevent coolant from freezing.
Oil flow valve controlling system for CVT.(Refer to “Introducing the Furukawa SMA NT spring as used on the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class”)
