From New Scale Technologies, Inc.
This app note details how piezo motors can be used to create a tiny optical zoom module with only 6 mm thickness. Using SQUIGGLE micro motors and TRACKER position sensors, the design offers 4 mm of travel and 0.5 micron closed-loop position resolution in a module only 6.5 mm thick. The length and width (13 x 23 mm for the reference design) would be determined by the optics, shutter and desired stroke.
New Scale's micro motion designs allow OEMs to embed smaller, higher-performance optics into cameras and imaging systems for consumer, security, industrial, military and medical applications.
