The SQUIGGLE motor uses piezoelectric ceramic elements to create vibrations in a threaded nut which directly
turns a mating screw. This unique design delivers twenty nanometer resolution and tens of millimeters of stroke
with excellent speed and quiet operation.
(See how they work for more information on the SQUIGGLE motor operating principle.)
“Our unique ceramic motor technology is ideal for automating instruments in vacuum, without mechanical
feed-throughs or stepper motors,” said David Henderson, President of New Scale Technologies. “The vacuum-compatible
SQUIGGLE motor offers very small size, nanometer precision, zero magnetic fields, and ultra-low outgassing and
heating. It is a natural extension of the New Scale product line.”
The SQ-2000V products are compatible with vacuum pressures as low as 10-7
Torr. Vacuum electrical feed-throughs are available by special order.
About New Scale Technologies
New Scale Technologies makes miniature ceramic motors that enable our customers to create smaller products. Our
patent-pending motors are bigger than MEMS devices but smaller than conventional motors. We generate precise
movement using ultrasonic vibrations which makes our products powerful, simple, and compatible with extreme
environments. Our
SQUIGGLE motor uses piezoelectric actuators to vibrate a nut and directly
rotate a mating screw in a tiny assembly with an order of magnitude fewer parts than conventional motors.
