Victor, NY - March 23, 2009 – A new
stainless steel housing for the SQL-1.8 SQUIGGLE micro motor
simplifies mounting of this patented piezoelectric motor into
miniature OEM products, New Scale Technologies announced today. The
model SQL-1.8-6-12-SS SQUIGGLE motor
measures only 2.7 x 2.8 x 6 mm including housing. This is still
25% to 50% thinner and up to ten times smaller in length x width
than competing micro motors. With new mounting tabs and a solid
bottom surface, the SQL-1.8-6-12-SS SQUIGGLE motor is easily
integrated into high-volume miniature products such as tiny optical
systems, medical devices, micro-robotic instruments and more.
A variety of suggested mounting techniques include the use of
snap clamps to hold the mounting tabs; epoxy or adhesive tape to
bond the bottom of the housing to a system structure; and several
different screw-on clamping options. An
application
note describes the various mounting methods in detail.
A 3D CAD file for the new motor housing is also available for
download (registration
required).
SQL-1.8-6-12-SS SQUIGGLE motors feature 6 mm travel range, 0.5
micrometer resolution, speeds greater than 7 mm/sec, and stall force
of 30 grams force. New Scale developed the new housing to ensure
optimal motor performance and simplify mechanical integration for
OEMs, while maintaining the small footprint of the “the world’s
smallest linear motor.”
Pricing and availability
A complete evaluation kit including an SQL- 1.8-6-12-SS motor, a
motor controller, New Scale Pathway software and all connector
cables is available now starting at $450.
