-7 Torr) Non-magnetic models Medical instrumentation & drug discovery Wafer inspection and nanolithography
The SQ-100 Series SQUIGGLE motor is a patented piezoelectric motor for nanopositioning applications in research, test and manufacturing. This motor can directly replace the manual micrometer in many commercial linear stages. A light spring preload is required to hold a flat surface on the moving stage against the motor’s lead screw. A knob on the motor allows for manual screw rotation and gross stage positioning. New Scale offers standard and vacuum-compatible stages with light spring loads. We also offer an ultra-thin closed-loop stage with integral SQUIGGLE motor and encoder A SQUIGGLE motor and light spring pre-load can directly replace the manual micrometer in many commercial stages. (see the SQ-2115 data sheet). Vacuum-Compatible Motors and Stages
Vacuum-compatible SQUIGGLE motors operate to 10 -7 Torr, automating in-vacuum alignment without mechanical feed-throughs. They provide high resolution with ultra-low outgassing and heating. (We also make UVH motors; see the SQ-100UHV series data sheet.) Non-Magnetic Motors
Non-magnetic SQUIGGLEmotors are constructed entirely of non-ferrous materials. Because SQUIGGLE ultrasonic motors generate no magnetic fields in operation, these non-magnetic motors are MRI safe and image compatible for medical applications. Vacuum compatible modelsoffer low outgassing to 10 -7 Drive Electronics
Torr, for precision positioning without mechanical feed-throughs. New Scale motor controllers generate ultrasonic signals to vibrate the motor’s piezoelectric element. You control the SQUIGGLE motor motion control via computer interface, analog input, or a manual handset. We offer both benchtop controllers for laboratory use, and credit-card sized PCB drive cards for easy integration into OEM systems and instruments. (See the drive electronics data sheets.)
