What is a XAP Actuator?
XAP is the world leader in electromagnetic actuators for sequential gearboxes. Our technology is the only one proven to rival pneumatic and hydraulic solutions. XAP’s electromagnetic actuators are reliable, consistent and do not need maintenance.
It is a monobloc solution unlike hydraulic and pneumatic solutions which need numerous elements such as pump (air compressor), an accumulator (air tank), electronic valve assembly, air filters, radiators and various hoses.
The electrical consumption of XAP actuators is low. It is equivalent to a 10 W lamp for a gear change of 40 ms every two second. Our electromagnetic actuators technology, made from permanent magnets, equips over 300 competition vehicles.

“The XAP Actuator is at the forefront of paddleshift technology. I initially tested the system in the SLS Championship winning Evo of Colin Dorward & most recently in the Motorbase VW Golf TCR. I’m very impressed with the performance & reliability on track”

BTCC Driver for Motorbase Performance
You wont look back!
“I investigated all available solutions to enable paddle shift control on my Samsonas sequential gearbox and as soon as I found the XAP Actuator I never looked back. It’s by far the most modern system to choose from. I can’t recommend the product enough!”

Beyond my expectations!
“I’ve worked on various competition cars that have paddle systems fitted but when it came to selecting a system for my car it was clear that a pneumatic system was not for me. I’m glad I chose XAP and their actuator as it fits in with my requirements for my Time Attack car”
