Elastic Sensors and Actuators
Electroactive Polymer Development Services for Your Application
What we do…
We are specialized in Electroactive Polymers (EAPs) – a groundbreaking stretchable sensing and actuation technology.
We offer tailored sensor and actuator solutions, specifically designed for our clients’ applications, based on EAP technology.
Smart Consultancy
LEAP Technology offers a range of services to utilize the unique characteristics of soft actuators and stretch sensors in your products.
Applications
Our standard and customized products have a wide range of application scope including industrial automation, wearables, automotive, and structural monitoring.
Motion
Capture
Our stretch sensors enable unobtrusive measurement of joint bending, strain of skin, and radial inflation/deflation of different body parts, e.g. legs, arms, chest, and neck.
Machine
Control
Our highly stretchable sensors are utilized as rugged displacement sensors compatible with demanding outdoors applications, e.g. automotive and offroad machinery.
Process
Monitoring
The rubbery nature of EAP have enabled sensors highly tolerant to shocks and vibration while providing high accuracy measurement, e.g. in process monitoring and automation.

Core Technology
DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS
The core EAP component comprises a Dielectric Elastomer film sandwiched between two deformable electrodes, thus forming a stretchable capacitor.
Low-cost materials, fast manufacturing techniques
WORKING PRINCIPLE – SENSORS
In sensor mode, the change of EAP capacitance is measured when deformed by a human, machine, or structure.
80% strain, 10 million cycles, µm resolution.
WORKING PRINCIPLE – ACTUATORS
In actuator mode, application of an electrical stimulus (voltage) deforms the EAP resulting in a soft deformable electromechanical actuator.
Low consumption, lightweight, highly customizable.
