Post by thread:[EE]PCB motor stators

Thought this might interest some here. From a Danish company (http://www.pcbmotor.com). Apparently designed with things like microscopes, alternatives to dials, mixing desks etc. A complete evaluation kit is horrendous at E1,995 or a prototyping kit for 625.00 you can even pay by PayPal. According to the marketing blurb in the Elektor newsletter, they have free samples with a postage cost of E7.95 (my keyboard doesn't have one of those them thar Euro signs!). The free board is normally E85.00. Now what could I use one for??????? Colin -- cdb, 27/03/2009 -- spam_OUTcolinTakeThisOuTbtech-online.co.uk

:: € ---> ALT+0128 ;-) About to go dangerously off topic - I use a DiNovo wireless keyboard that doesn't have a numerical keypad -so my ALT+163 when I need it is non existent! :( -- cdb, colinKILLspambtech-online.co.uk on 27/03/2009 Web presence: http://www.btech-online.co.uk Hosted by: http://www.1and1.co.uk/?k_id=7988359

Colin, Try Alt + 0128 to get this: â‚¬ Alt + 0163 or Alt + 156 will give you this: Â£ www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc-a.html or http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htm

You may can just quickly find out if you have that with a notepad holding down the Altgr and pressing all your keys one by one. Tamas -- http://www.mcuhobby.com

Nice piezo motors. Would be fun to get one and learn the technology. Used in high camera lenses for silent, fast, accurate focusing. The piezo devices come in a 5k reel for about $1,000, so a small 30mm motor with 96 of these is $20 in piezo devices, and you still need a custom PCB with internal routing, and a driver. Not a 'cheap' motor by any means, but for some applications it would be cheaper than the current alternative. Would like to see these come down to $5 per motor including driver and pcb cost... -Adam On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 5:32 AM, cdb <@spam@colinKILLspambtech-online.co.uk> wrote: {Quote hidden}> Thought this might interest some here. > > From a Danish company (http://www.pcbmotor.com). > > Apparently designed with things like microscopes, alternatives to > dials, mixing desks etc. > > A complete evaluation kit is horrendous at E1,995 or a prototyping kit > for 625.00 you can even pay by PayPal. > > According to the marketing blurb in the Elektor newsletter, they have > free samples with a postage cost of E7.95 (my keyboard doesn't have > one of those them thar Euro signs!).
