MPS provides products for customers who need mechanical microsystems that control linear or rotating movement
Electro Mechanical Systems has been appointed exclusive UK agent for Micro Precision Systems (MPS) of Biel Switzerland, a manufacturer of miniature high-precision bearings and micro mechanisms.
EMS will now represent all of the products manufactured by MPS and its parent company Faulhaber.
MPS provides products for customers who need mechanical microsystems that control linear or rotating movement.
Typical fields of application include medical devices, semiconductor manufacture, optical measurement and the watch industry.
With ball diameters extending from just 1.588mm down to 0.2mm, these ultra-precision products are suitable for the world's smallest and most accurate mechanical and electro-mechanical devices.
MPS manufactures very few standard products, and sells primarily into specialist micro-miniature applications where precise and exacting special designs are needed.
It fully complements EMS's own custom design and manufacturing capabilities, now extending these to include even smaller sizes, says the company.
EMS is therefore now able to offer custom design mechanisms for motors from 2mm in diameter up to 80mm, with power ratings from 60uWatts to 240Watts, and torque ratings from 12uNm to 250Nm.
