M3-L Linear Actuator Modules
The world's smallest closed-loop linear motion system
The M3-L is a miniature high-resolution positioning system with
integrated driver and closed-loop control. This compact, powerful
motion system helps OEM designers improve performance and reduce the
size of instruments in a wide range of applications.
Features
- Small: complete, compact, closed-loop system with NO external
control board. Less than than half the size and one-fourth the
weight of comparable systems.
- Precise: 0.5µm position resolution with many millimeters of travel.
- Low voltage, low power use: runs on 3.3V input, holds
position with power off.
- Simple system integration: accepts high-level motion
commands over standard serial interface (I2C or SPI).
- Flexible, production-ready system: integrate standard
modules into your system, or talk with us about rapid
customization. Configurable for single- or multi-axis motion and
travel up to 20 mm.
- Cost-effective system solution: on-board closed-loop drive circuit for high repeatability
with low external processing requirements.
Applications
The M3-F is ideal for
precision tuning of photonics, RF and microwave
systems. Defense
applications including laser beam steering and targeting, UAV and UGV flight controls,
and field-portable systems for biomedical and
chemical detection and analysis. Medical
applications include micro surgical devices and
point-of-care systems.
Developer's Kits
M3-L developer’s kits provide convenient evaluation of the M3-L
system and prototyping for your design. The developer’s kit includes
an M3-L linear positioning module and a USB stick to convert computer commands directly
from New Scale Pathway™ PC Software to the linear
module. Kits are pre-configured to accept
I2C or SPI serial commands.
Standard tips include a bullet nose for "push" configuration
and
an eye end tip for "pull" configuration. Bi-directional "push-pull" systems can be
custom-configured for your specific needs.
