Powerful PCB Motor Weighs Very Little

Producing a 3/8-in. stroke at 2.5 lb.-f, the MigaOne PCB-mount motor weighs less than 0.5 oz and measures less than 0.1-in. thick. Employing the company’s patented technology that relies on SMA wire as the driving element, the motor design reportedly opens up design concepts previously not possible with traditional motors and solenoids. Other features include silent, non-magnetic operation to reduce EMI and a scalable design that adapts to user needs. Applications include smart electronic locks/latches, air duct vanes/shunts, valves, advanced robotics, and biomedical equipment. Price for the MigaOne is $39.95 each.
