Victor, NY - November 6, 2007 - New Scale Technologies’
patented piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motor captured top honors in the
2007 “Golden Mousetrap” awards, the company announced today. The
annual awards are presented by leading industry journal Design News
to recognize engineering innovation and creativity in product
design.
The linear SQUIGGLE motor was cited for its tiny size, high
push force, accuracy and precision. The simplicity of its unique
ultrasonic design was also noted: A SQUIGGLE motor has just seven
parts, compared to electromechanical stepper motors and gear systems
that contain dozens of components.
Design News editors selected 75
finalists and 16 winners from “a record number” of entries in
electronics; motion control and automation; hardware and software;
and materials, fastening, joining and assembly. Other winners in the
motion control and automation category were Siemens Energy &
Automation and U.S. Digital Corp.
"The Golden Mousetrap Awards
recognize excellence and innovation across the key coverage areas
for Design News readers," said Design News editor-in-chief John
Dodge. "The winners embody the enthusiasm, excellence and excitement
of design engineering that is conveyed on the print and web pages of
Design News."
