Micro Vibration Motors :: Pico Vibe™ Range

Overview

Introducing the Precision Microdrives Pico Vibe™ range of Ø4mm ~ Ø7mm micro vibration motors, more commonly known as pager motors. This range is our best selling product line. Used by mobile / cell phone manufacturers worldwide to offer vibra-alert ringing functions, these micro vibration motors are now being used by a wide range of industrial designers. Mobile phones popularised vibration feedback as a way of alerting the user that their phone was ringing.

Exploded Micro Vibration Motor or Pager Motor

Industrial equipment is often used in scenarios where seeing or hearing a visual or audio alert can be hard. Micro vibration motors can be integrated into a design so that equipment operators and users can rely on a third sense - touch.

Our Pico Vibe™ range is designed to be used for handheld equipment in the weight range of around 25 ~ 200 g (1 - 7 oz.). Micro vibration motors in this range come in either 1.5, or 3v operation which makes them ideal for battery power supplies. The combination of voltages makes these motors suitable for single / double cell power buses of Alkaline, Zinc, Silver Oxide and single cell Lithium primary sources, NiCd, NimH, Li-ion secondary rechargeable batteries.

All motors in this part of the range are based on a brushed coreless cylinder design and utilise powerful NdFeB Neodymium magnets for an improved magnetic flux circuit. The vibrating motors come in a number of form factors that make retrofit and design integration easier; the form factors are split into 4 sub-sections:

Pager Motor :: Pico Vibe™ form factors

PCB Vibration Motors
We offer a number of PCB mounted vibration motors in surface mount solder reflow (SMD), surface contact and through hole solder forms.

Coin Vibration Motors
Coin / pancake vibrating motors or shaftless vibration motors come in leaded or surface press forms. Compact and no external moving parts.

Leaded Pager Motors
Leaded vibration / pager motors come in several diameters with flying leads. We offer a lead and connector customisation service.

Encapsulated Motors
Encapsulated motors are designed to be dust and water resistant. They have no external moving parts and overmoulded with low temperature plastics.

If you are considering integrating these micro vibration motors into a new design, it's worth bearing in mind that we have a huge body of application experience here at Precision Microdrives.

Our application engineers will be only too happy to help advise on the best way to introduce a vibration generation function or a vibration feedback feature to your products. You can reach them here.

Remember also that we sell 1+ quantities of the stocked motors listed in the pages above. You can follow this link to order vibration motors for prototyping / testing. If you're looking for larger quantities, please contact us and with the part number and quantity and we'll reply with a quote by return.

If you need vibrator motors that are a little larger, please return to our main Vibration Motors page.

Finally, remember that if we don't have what you're looking for, we can modify parts to specification, and customise vibrating motors that we already offer...
