Tension Dynamics was born from nearly a decade-long pursuit to redefine the fundamental limitations of linear actuator technology. This mission was initially sparked by research into the inadequacy of current solutions for simulating real-world helicopter dynamics a problem documented by the U.S. Air Force.
This singular focus on solving an unaddressed, high-stakes motion problem resulted in the development of a breakthrough new class of linear actuator a patented, fully electric solution that integrates force and acceleration into a single component.
Moving beyond the incremental limitations of legacy systems, Tension Dynamics delivers unmatched performance, 3x efficiency gains over hydraulics, and superior reliability for aerospace, defense, and advanced robotics.
With functional prototypes and patent-pending status (PCT filed May 2025), we are actively working through parallel paths to determine the best product-market fit across multiple vast markets. We’re not just building better components; we’re redefining how industries move, build, and innovate for the post-AI era.
Reimagining Motion from the Ground Up.
Achieve dynamic motion that is inherent in physical design and fully software optimizable. This foundational speed and responsiveness are crucial for high-fidelity simulation and advanced robotics, driving the next generation of capability.
Our systems are 3X more efficient than hydraulics , a gain achieved through both hardware optimization and software control. This superior strength-to-power ratio delivers robust performance while dramatically cutting energy consumption and operating costs.
Our design provides the best compressed-to-extended ratio of any linear actuator, allowing the component to extend 170% beyond its base length. This capability lets you integrate powerful dynamics into more compact, space-saving machine designs.
Enjoy effortless integration with our Plug & Play system. By eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid and compressed air, we drastically simplify installation, reduce maintenance requirements, and remove the complexity associated with fluid-based systems.
Gain high-performance, software-defined speed and acceleration (up to 3G) without the traditional high cost. By integrating force and acceleration into a single component, we deliver superior dynamics and extra dynamic range of motion more efficiently than conventional options.
We are the only software-defined motion system company for the post-AI era, delivering the definitive solution to outdated industry components. Our patented technology is validated by U.S. defense and aerospace interest.
