ORCA™ Motor Powered Motion Platform Technology in Neonatal Transportation
Active Spring Damping Platform in collaboration with the National Research Council, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and Carleton University
Iris Dynamics designs, manufactures, and distributes innovative smart linear motion systems, all in house. We partner with OEMs, machine builders, integrators, and researchers to deliver precision actuation technology that simplifies complex motion challenges.
Our technology promises high efficiency, superior positioning performance and precise force-control, all in a compact fully-integrated solution. By streamlining installation and eliminating the need for separate components, we help engineers save time, reduce costs, and accelerate deployment.
Fully Integrated ORCA™ Series Linear Motors
Force Feedback Programmable Linear Actuators
ORCA motors are fast to integrate, easy to use, and powerful in the field. Our fully integrated linear actuators eliminate the need for external components like drivers, encoders, load cells, and controllers. That means less complexity, faster builds, and better results. Integrated force feedback and sensing delivers precise control, while low voltage DC simplifies power requirements. In a compact package, engineered for durability and low maintenance, our systems reduce downtime, lower lifetime costs, and keep performance at its peak.
What is a Smart Linear Motor?
A smart linear motor puts intelligence at its core with built-in sensors, embedded logic, and seamless communication. These smart systems integrate all components needed for precision motion into one compact, self-contained unit. Drivers, controllers, and sensors are built directly into the actuator, with simplified wiring and mechanical mounting points, this simplifies installation and eliminates the need for external components.
With advanced magnetic construction for smooth, cog-free motion and a rugged, sealed housing, ORCA motors deliver consistent performance from prototype through production.

ORCA-3-12V | Cost Effective, Compact, High Speed
3DoF End-Effector Cobot Application Story
Polytechnique’s Laboratory for Assistive and Rehabilitation Technologies (POLAR) is advancing next-gen end-effector robots for neuromuscular rehabilitation. Finding the right linear actuator for their three-degrees-of-freedom cobot presented a unique challenge for the team. The actuator needed to achieve high speed and stroke without compromising safety, all in a compact, lightweight design. The ORCA-3-12V met all criteria, delivering 8.1 m/s speed, 101.6 mm stroke, and integrated sensing in a backdrivable design. This enabled responsive motion and real-time force feedback for a portable, effective therapy system suitable for both clinical and home use.
