Linear Motion Reinvented
​They scale from micron-sized devices, hold position without power, travel unlimited distances, and operate in the vacuum, the deep sea - all with surgical precision.
Our compact and powerful actuators play the same role for machines as muscles do in nature
From micro-medical robots to deep space explorers, our actuators unlock capabilities that regular motors can’t.
Engineered for extreme environments, they deliver silent force without magnets, oil, or even maintenance.
Real revolution happens rarely.
Not every engineer can participate in it.
You can.
Spiketon M1
Spiketon M1 is a simple, compact, lightweight, high-precision linear actuator designed to move a carriage along rails
Spike AA1
2-plate amplified piezo actuator 0.5–1 mm stroke, 1,000N max push force, 20 kHz, press-formed metal.
Spike AA2
Advanced amplified piezo actuator with 0.5–1 mm stroke, 1,000 N push force, and 20 kHz silent operation. Optimized for high-performance integration (e.g., Spiketon).

Our Mission
Together, we build the muscles that move the future
In a world where robotics is reshaping life, Spike unlocks what was never possible before - compact, silent, ultra-powerful actuators that move like muscles, yet thrive where traditional motors fail.
We open-sourced everything.
So, together with engineers, researchers, builders, and dreamers, we can create the tools, devices, applications, and machines that will define what comes next.
This isn’t just hardware.
It’s a turning point for humanity.
And it all started in a San Francisco garage, as open-space motors for Mars rovers.
