M3 Micro-Mechatronic Module Design Platform
For rapid development of tiny closed-loop actuators with
on-board PID control
With our M3 Design Platform, we can quickly develop closed-loop micro actuator modules
customized for your OEM application. Building on our miniature
SQUIGGLE motor and TRACKER position sensor technology, this design
platform yields complete
closed-loop motion modules with high precision and tiny footprint.
No external control board!
No external control board is necessary. You supply simple serial commands
to drive an on-board PID controller using a standard I2C or SPI
interface. Modules have low power consumption and 3.3V input voltage for
battery-powered operation.

The M3 design platform enables rapid
development of closed-loop micro-mechatronic modules. Easily add
precision motion in a wide variety of
OEM system applications.
The M3
Design Platform includes the micro motor, position sensor, drive ASIC and microprocessor for on-board closed-loop PID control.
No external controller is needed. Just add 3.3V input voltage, and serial commands using an I2C or
other interface.
M3 module "M3-F" configuration for
miniature lens focus.
Choose from standard mechanical
configurations such as this linear "M3-L" configuration, or work
with us to customize an M3 module to suit your needs.

M3-F customizable focus modules
 M3-F focus modules add
precision focus to compact board
cameras. They provide
0.5 µm position resolution and better than 30 µm accuracy. The
20 x 22 x 16 mm package easily replaces a fixed lens holder on a
board camera PCB.

M3-L customizable linear actuators
 M3-L linear actuators provide linear motion
with high precision and repeatability. Typical
parameters include > 6 mm travel,
0.5 µm position resolution and up to 20 grams force load in a
27.5 x 13 x 7.5 mm package.

Simple integration
Modules built on the M3 Design Platform are
extremely simple for OEM designers to integrate into their products. Electrical integration is as
easy as sending serial commands to the module. Mechanical
integration is customized to the application: possibilities include
integrating a lens within the module, pushing a lever external to
the module, or nearly any application.
Each custom module is a drop-in drive system for your
miniature product. These micro-mechatronic modules are
smaller, more powerful, more precise - and now even easier to
integrate - than traditional electromagnetic motor systems.
Modules based on the M3 Design Platform are ideal for high
resolution positioning in miniature optical instrumentation, lasers
and photonics systems, aerospace controls and biomedical systems.
M3 Design Platform components
Modules built on the M3 Design Platform consist of:
- An SQL-RV-1.8 reduced voltage SQUIGGLE micro motor
- An NSD-2101 motor driver ASIC
- An NSE-5310 position sensor (encoder)
- An on-board microprocessor for PID control
- A customized motion guide assembly and housing to suit your
OEM application
