Micro motion innovation

Here are a few of the innovations enabling our M3 micro-mechatronic motion systems including our linear microstages, linear actuators and focus modules.

The UTAF™ ultra-thin actuator family integrates all motor functions into a single piezoelectric ceramic beam only 4.5 X 0.82 X 0.7 mm.

The SQUIGGLE motor’s piezoelectric actuators vibrate a nut to drive a screw for smooth, precise motion in a 2.8 x 2.8 x 6 mm size.

The SQUIGGLE RV micro motor employs state-of-the-art, multi-layer piezo technology to reduce the input voltage requirements to 3VDC.

This tiny Hall effect position sensor is used in our M3 modules. We developed the NSE-5310 in cooperation with ams.
