Which SQUIGGLE Model Do I Need?

New Scale makes the world's smallest linear motors and micro motion systems. The smallest SQUIGGLE motors are half the size of competing products, yet offer ten times the push force and precision of the closest competitor.

M3 Microactuator Modules

For most OEM applications, we recommend our customized M3 micro-mechatronic modules. These modules incorporate our SQUIGGLE motor and TRACKER position sensor technology, along with drive electronics and mechanical integration to fit your requirements. 

Linear SQUIGGLE Motors

Select your motor based on the size and force you need, and any special environments. Or call us and we’ll help you pick the right standard model or discuss a custom design - we'll help you navigate the tradeoffs in size, force, speed, resolution and power use.

note 2: travel is customizable - call us for more information. 

note 3: we are pleased to work with potential OEM partners on custom motor development for vacuum, cryogenic and UHV environments.  Please call us to discuss your application and anticipated volume.
