Note 1: Higher mass is possible but will affect performance and lifetime.

Note 2: Speed and force reduced at lower temperatures within the range.

Note 3: Corresponds to 10 million moves with an average random move of 120 µm. Lifetime depends on the application

and use case. Please consult the factory to discuss your specific system design.

M3 smart module platform

The M3-LS Linear Smart Stage is

built on New Scale’s M3 micro-

mechatronic “smart module”

platform, integrating a patented

piezoelectric SQUIGGLE® micro

motor, precision mechanical guide

system, position sensor,

microprocessor, and drive electronics

into one tiny package.

Eliminating the need for external

controllers, M3 smart modules offer

the smallest system size and easiest

integration into OEM systems. They

operate on 3.3 V DC input, accept

high-level motion commands, and

hold position with power off.

Multi-axis systems: Create

miniature X-Y or X-Y-Z smart stages

using two or three M3-LS Linear

Smart Stages.
