Piezoelectric motor survives the cold
New Scale Technologies has created a custom cryogenic version of its tiny SQL Series piezoelectric Squiggle motor.
The datasheet includes: operating specs for New Scale's smallest model, the 1.5mm SQL-1.5 Series motor; updated specs for the 2.4 and 3.4mm SQL Series motors; and updated mechanical drawings.
The Squiggle motor is a patented piezoelectric device that converts ultrasonic vibrations into precise linear motion.
Squiggle motors are smaller, more precise, less expensive and more efficient than conventional electromagnetic motors.
It has lower power consumption than miniature electromagnetic motors and holds its position when the power is turned off.
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 defence, fluid control, and office/consumer products including mobile phone cameras.
