Soldering Leads to the Piezoelectric Element of the Elliptec Motor General Specifications for the Unloaded Elliptec ® Motor, Open-Loop Configuration The orientations of the spring and wire leads are chosen to suit the application, as are the lengths of the wire leads and whether or not they are terminated. ![]() The motor's direction of motion is changed and its speed is tuned by adjusting the ultrasonic frequency of the applied signal. Power is supplied to the piezoelectric element through wires soldered to its upper and lower surfaces. An attached spring presses the machined tip of the frame into firm contact with the driven element, which may be a rotor or other component. ![]() During operation of the motor, the oscillations of the driven piezoelectric element are amplified by the frame and converted to an elliptical motion at the frame's tip. The frame is more than just a physical housing it is also a resonator and a transducer, and it has been designed specifically to interface with the piezoelectric element (see The Elliptec ® Motor tab for additional details). Introduction to the Elliptec MotorĪt the core of the Elliptec piezoelectric resonant motor is the piezo element, which is press-fit into an aluminum motor frame. Please contact us today to discuss integrating the exceptional Elliptec motion control motor technology into your application. The Implementations tab highlights these capabilities by including summaries of and links to products based on the Elliptec motor. Candidate materials for component fabrication include both metals and plastics, and Thorlabs routinely designs for a wide variety of manufacturing techniques including machining, molding, and casting. Materials and associated manufacturing techniques are carefully chosen to suit the application, as these have a direct influence on the operation and cost of the assembly. ![]() Thorlabs has the ability to model the mechanical components and the electronics together, which produces truly integrated designs. Based on the requirements of your application, electronics schematics are generated and board layouts are designed, such as the boards shown in the image at left. Three-dimensional mechanical modeling for the project is performed using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and mechanical stress analysis is conducted using the software’s associated finite element analysis (FEA) tools. Thorlabs uses this information to propose the most appropriate custom design and associated manufacturing solution.įinished designs, based on modelling results, describe the manufacturing process and specify the constituent materials. Discussions with you are held to establish detailed design specifications, define performance goals, and identify system requirements. Each project begins with a dedicated account manager establishing a strong collaborative relationship between your team and the technical resources at Thorlabs. Thorlabs takes pride in meeting the unique needs of your OEM application. In addition to performing custom design and manufacturing services, Thorlabs can complete final assembly and functionally test every OEM unit before shipping. Thorlabs’ team is experienced in implementing a range of design solutions, from the most basic mechanical sub-assembly to fully self-contained electromechanical assemblies with integrated drive electronics. In addition, Thorlabs’ automated manufacturing facility in Dortmund, Germany enables the high-volume production of motors capable of meeting your needs.īy working closely with you, each integration is tailored to meet the specific complexity, dimensional, and pricing requirements of the application. Our Multi-Position Sliders and Linear Stages showcase the smooth linear movement enabled by these piezo resonant motors and demonstrate that they are ideally suited for integration into a wide variety of end-applications, including those requiring the actuation of shutters and lids, the adjustment of beam-deflection mirror alignment, the toggling of locks, or the selective engagement of filters. The highly dynamic and high-precision Elliptec motors are favored for their simplicity of assembly and operation, as well as their compact dimensions, light weight, and low power consumption (see the Technical Data tab). Thorlabs’ multidisciplinary OEM applications engineering team is ready to design and build a custom Elliptec piezoelectric motor solution for your application.
