Miniature Piezoelectric Motor with High Force and Speed

The SQUIGGLE motor is a revolutionary linear motor that sets a new benchmark for small size and high performance. The patented ultrasonic motor creates high force and speed with only a few parts. It replaces complex electromagnetic gearhead motors which have hundreds of parts.

This simple, robust piezo motor is scalable to much smaller sizes than electromagnetic motors, without significant loss of power efficiency.This makes it ideal for portable consumer products such as mobile phone cameras and wearable medical devices.

The SQUIGGLE motor generates no magnetic fields, is vacuum compatible, and can be made from non-ferrous metals. This makes it ideal for use in MRI, scanning electron microscopy and focused ion microscopy applications.

  • Precise: nanometer resolution
  • Fast: variable speed from 1 µm/second to 10 mm/second
  • Strong: 5 Newton force
  • Tiny: as small as 1.5 x 1.5 x 6 mm
  • Quiet and smooth
  • Non-magnetic
  • Vacuum compatible
  • Cryogenic compatible
