SQL Series Piezo Motors

APPLICATIONS

for OEM Product Applications

FEATURES

Scalable to tiny sizes (less than 2 x 2 x 6 mm) Mobile phone cameras Simple construction for high-volume, low-cost manufacturing Microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip No gears or cams - reduces part count in OEM products Electronic locks and fasteners Uses power only when moving Medical devices Robust construction withstands high shock loads Automotive modules Sub-micrometer precision Imaging Silent, ultrasonic operation Micro actuation for robotics, UAVs, instruments and more Wide operating temperature range

The world’s smallest linear motor for OEM products The SQL Series piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motor is the world’s smallest linear motor. This patented ultrasonic motor offers millimeters of stroke, sub-micrometer precision and high force. It withstands high shock and has low power requirements for battery-driven devices. We work with OEM customers to tailor SQUIGGLE motors, drivers and modules to your needs. We will help you navigate trade-offs among size, speed, force and power. To get you started, our evaluation kits include a SQUIGGLE motor, controller, connectors and control software.

SQL-1.8 and SQL-3.4 SQUIGGLE motors. SQL Series motors are also available in custom sizes for OEMs.
