Applications for SQUIGGLE Motors

What could you do with a motor this small?

Tiny piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motors bring new possibilities for miniaturization and performance to next-generation electronic products. Many designers use SQUIGGLE micro motors to add motion-based features to products where traditional motors are impractical. Others use SQUIGGLE motors to replace larger motors and actuators, reducing overall product size and power consumption. The power and precision of SQUIGGLE motors is also valued in numerous laboratory and research applications.

 

SQUIGGLE motors are used in optics and imaging, electronic access control, automotive modules, medical devices, consumer electronics, industrial and research applications, and in aerospace and defense systems. What could you do with a motor this small?
