New Scale Expands Manufacturing Space in Victor

Move to new facility supports expanded manufacturing operation for tiny motors

February 24, 2006 - Victor, NY - New Scale Technologies, Inc. has moved to a larger facility in Victor, NY in order to expand its manufacturing operations for its tiny piezoelectric motors.

The company’s new 5,000 square foot facility at 111 Victor Heights Parkway, Victor, NY, 14564 will accommodate the company’s growing manufacturing operations along with administrative, sales and marketing functions.

“Demand for our patented SQUIGGLE® motors has increased dramatically in the past six months as designers recognize the motors’ unique benefits in high-volume applications such as mobile phone cameras,” said New Scale president David Henderson. “We are pleased to be expanding our manufacturing locally as we gear up for our next wave of growth.”


About the SQUIGGLE Motor

The patented SQUIGGLE motor design uses a threaded nut and screw to create precise linear movement in a very small space. Piezoelectric ceramics create ultrasonic vibrations in the nut, causing the screw to rotate and translate with high precision. SQUIGGLE motors are smaller, more precise, less expensive and more efficient than conventional electromagnetic motors. In addition, they use 90 percent fewer parts and require no gear reduction, which eliminates many failure modes. This ceramic motor is fundamentally compatible with high magnetic fields including MRI chambers. SQUIGGLE motors are used in nanotechnology research, microelectronics, optics, lasers, biotechnology, medical devices, aerospace and defense, fluid control, and office/consumer products including mobile phone cameras.


About New Scale Technologies, Inc.

New Scale Technologies, Inc. (www.newscaletech.com) makes miniature ceramic motors that enable our customers to create smaller products and research tools. Our piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motors are smaller, more efficient and more precise than conventional motors. With only seven parts and no gears, this patented piezoelectric motor design uses ultrasonic vibrations to create precise linear motion. New Scale’s miniature motors are compatible with extreme environments including vacuum, very low (sub-Kelvin) temperatures, and high magnetic fields.
