Titan Haptics develops and manufactures advanced haptic motors for electronic devices, including smartphones, gaming consoles, virtual reality (VR) peripherals, and touchscreens. The company's core technology is the patented Linear Magnetic Ram (LMR), a wideband voice-coil haptic motor that utilizes a solid-state magnetic suspension instead of traditional springs or flexures. This LMR technology enables a wider frequency response, increased reliability, and stronger haptic output compared to conventional motors, allowing for more realistic and nuanced tactile feedback.
Titan Haptics was founded in 2020 by Tim Szeto and originated as a spin-off from Nanoport R&D Lab. The initial concept stemmed from a patent filed by Nanoport that, with encouragement from an investor, was developed into a new class of haptic motor based on magnetic levitation. Based in the Toronto area, the company has participated in the ventureLAB Hardware Catalyst Initiative, which provided access to simulation software from Siemens to streamline product development. Key executives include Ashley Huffman, who leads marketing and strategic partnerships.
The company's business model involves manufacturing and selling its haptic motors and developer kits directly to product designers and manufacturers. Its product line includes the Drake motor, a compact, power-dense motor for smaller devices, and the TacHammer Carlton, a larger actuator designed for high-fidelity impact sensations in gaming and simulations. To serve non-standard product designs, Titan Haptics developed Clustered Haptic Arrays, which allow engineers to combine multiple motors to increase power and fit irregular form factors. The company also provides a comprehensive suite of support for its customers, including firmware, software APIs, reference designs, and development kits like the TITAN Core to simplify integration.
