Vibration Motors by Precision Microdrives

Small vibration motors have been with us since the 1960's. Initially they were developed for massaging products, but development took a new turn in the 90's when consumers required vibra-call on their mobile / cell phones. Today, designers and users alike have learned from two decades of mobile phones, that vibration alerting is an excellent way to alert operators of an event. 

These days miniature vibrating motors are used in a wide range of products, like tools, scanners, medical instruments, GPS, and control sticks. Vibrator motors are also the main actuators for haptic feedback which is an inexpensive way to increase a product's value, and differentiate it from competition.

So, if you landed here because you want to make something vibrate, you're in good company. Precision Microdrives is the leading supplier of sub Ø60 mm vibrating motors. We carry the widest range in stock and we offer unrivaled application support and on-hand technical expertise.

HOW TO TEST MOBILE PHONE VIBRATION MOTOR

A mobile phone vibration is created by a small motor called Vibra motor. when applied by a voltage or current it rotates and the vibration is generated by a small tiny piece of metal attach to its tip.

Checking this small piece of motor was so very easy just set the analog multi-tester range to X1 in resistance settings then connect the both probes to each terminals, polarity doesn't matter here for the motor will rotate clockwise if its in the right polarity. and rotates counter clockwise when not in each corresponding polarity.

A good and working vibration motor will then rotate and a bad or busted one will not.
