MyActuator alternatives

MyActuator, founded in 2020 in the Huaqiao district of Kunshan, builds integrated robot actuators and joint modules, selling packaged actuation to builders of articulated robots. The four alternatives approach the same joints and axes from different directions. NB Corporation, in Ojiya, Japan, supplies the linear side: a manufacturer whose origins lie in Yamazaki Iron Works of 1939 and the Slide Bush of 1960, now selling linear bearings and guides through operations in America, Europe and China. Netzer Precision closes the feedback loop, making absolute rotary encoders on its proprietary Electric Encoder technology from Misgav, Israel since 1998, with applications spanning space, agriculture, energy, defence and medical robotics. Nidec Drive Technology, the Nidec group's reducer specialist in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto, founded in 1952 as Shimpo Kogyo and renamed in 2023, supplies precision gearboxes that sit inside robots, machine tools and semiconductor equipment. NUM, the Swiss CNC specialist with its registered office near Teufen, sells complete CNC solutions — controls, drives and motors — to machine builders in tool grinding, gear cutting, rotary transfer and woodworking, with the NUM brand dating to 1964. Choose MyActuator when you want the joint module ready-made; consider Nidec for standalone reducers, Netzer for encoder feedback, NB for linear motion, and NUM where a full CNC control package is the real requirement.
