M3-L custom linear module specifications worksheet


The M3 Design Platform allows us to quickly develop custom micro-mechatronic modules to your specifications. Simply supply commands via a serial interface to get precision, closed-loop motion. Custom M3-L linear motion modules built on the M3 Platform consist of a printed circuit board mounted with the following components: SQL-RV-1.8 Reduced Voltage SQUIGGLE Motor NSD-2101 Motor Driver ASIC TRACKER NSE-5310 position sensor Side Entry Flex Circuit Microprocessor Customizable features include: Mechanical integration component Travel distance Microprocessor communication protocol Flex length and configuration Operating environment Cost and delivery will depend on the customization. We can generally provide Proof of Concept prototypes within 8 to 10 weeks after acceptance of the proposal and receipt of your order. Please fill out this form as completely as possible and we will provide a proposal. Feel free to upload supporting drawings and documents as indicated. Note: the total size limit for all uploaded files combined is 5 Mb.

Application and Use

Please describe your application and what function you need the closed-loop motion module to perform.

Optional: Upload your sketch or drawing (PDF or JPEG, max. file size 1.5 Mb):

Control Requirements

Closed Loop	Open Loop

Static (position control)	Dynamic (velocity/acceleration control)

For dynamic control, please describe specific requirements such as frequency, maximum speed and amplitude, input signal and waveform.

Limit stop required? If so, describe requirement:


Interface bus:	I2C (Inter-IC)	SPI (serial peripheral interface)
	Other (describe):

Module Size

A typical closed-loop M3-L module with 6 mm travel is 27.5 mm length x 13 mm width x 7.5 mm height. If you have specific size limitations, please specify:

Linear Travel Range

A typical closed-loop M3-L module has 6 mm travel. If you have specific travel requirements, please specify:

Mounting and Mechanical Integration

Please describe your requirements.

Optional: Upload your sketch or drawing (PDF or JPEG, max. file size 1.5 Mb):

Load Requirements

Please describe.

Optional: Upload your sketch or drawing (PDF or JPEG, max. file size 1.5 Mb):
