However, there is far more to our company than simply providing the parts and equipment needed by so many companies and organisations. We were established by Piers Olsen, an engineer whose passion for developing innovative technologies still fuels our corporate ethos today. We strive to help our customers to develop the solutions they need for the most challenging applications, in the most demanding environments, and, as a result of this commitment to innovation, Olsen Actuators have become the market leaders in the customisation and integration of electromechanical systems.

In practice, this means that if our customers need a complete system that doesn't currently exist, we will work with them to create a custom solution. As a strategic partner of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Olsen Actuators also enjoys access to its resources, enabling our company access to major international programs, including CERN, ESO, E-ELT, and ESA. Olsen Actuators is committed to staying at the cutting edge of technology, which means that our customers can trust us to develop the very best solutions for their unique needs. We are also the UK's only supplier of the popular Exlar Electric Roller Screw actuator range, ANCA Motion Linear Motors,Macron Gantry Systems and ESI Motion Drives

Indeed, Olsen Actuators has been providing systems solutions to the Power Generation industry for over ten years, playing a key role in the modernisation of steam turbines, pilot valves and main steam valve controls. We have worked with many organisations operating in the Aerospace, Defence and Marine sectors, too, where our skills have been turned to the development of the most lightweight, compact and durable equipment, which can also deliver unparalleled precision control in a variety of hostile environments. We also specialise in providing actuator solutions for the Testing and Simulation industry, helping our customers to improve repeatability, accuracy, and feedback data across their tests.

So if you need custom actuators or other components that can meet the highest challenges, Olsen Actuators should always be your first port of call. Our team of highly trained engineers are experienced in creating the most complex and unique systems solutions, as our track record shows. We have a dedicated multiple-bay production cell, a software development office, and a machine shop equipped with a variety of axis milling machinery and the latest 3D printers.
