miniswys has invented and refined a family of cost-effective, proprietary and patented ultrasonic ceramic micromotors that can be optimized for mid to high mass production applications for OEM applications in highly challenging B2B markets.



The miniswys motors are very well adapted for use as high-speed actuators across a whole spectrum of applications, including:




  • autofocus for telecommunication systems (camera module)

  • optical image stabilization for telecommunication and automotive imaging

  • zoom applications

  • dual camera systems



Compared to other technologies, the miniswys ultrasonic ceramic motors have an extremely simple structure and offer very attractive key features, including a long stroke length, very low energy consumption (which is constant over the full stroke) and high speed.



The primary benefits for camera-related applications are:




  • rapid and responsive focusing

  • no temperature increase thanks to extremely low energy consumption

  • long stroke, which allows for short focal distance ( macro function )



The miniswys business model is based on selling licenses to manufacturing companies, including technology transfer and support for process engineering.
