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
