Technology

FLEXMOTORs use the radial ultrasonic vibrations of a thin piezoelectric disk, which have excellent coupling. This forces vertical vibrations of the attached amplifier structure. These vibrations convert into a rotary motion via the ratchetting along of elastic legs. All using pressed or etched metal parts.

The combination of materials and simplicity of the innovative piezoelectric motor design give:

•  High power delivery (breathing mode)
•  Driving 1-2 micrometers at 50-80kHz
•  A simple friction drive
•  Simple assembly
•  Scalable size without loss of performance
•  Motor is reconfigurable for linear and bidirectional motoring, optical pass-throughs & integration
