The New Scale M3-L is a miniature high-resolution positioning system. It is a “smart” actuator with an integrated driver and closed-loop controller inside the actuator.
The New Scale M3-L is a miniature high-resolution positioning system. It is a “smart” actuator with an integrated driver and closed-loop controller inside the actuator.
M3-L actuators are designed to push or pull objects. The ultra-compact, high performance design of the M3-L allows designers to miniaturise their products while maintaining performance.
