1241 Adams Street 1147 Saint Helena, CA 94574 MIGA www.migamotors.com Motor Company Modern Motion Technical Note: Discontinue NM70-Super, Enter NM706-Super Released: March 31, 2010 Discontinued NM70-Super: Miga has recently sold out all of the original NM70-Super linear SMA actuators (as shown below). While production has been discontinued, we could go back into volume production at any time for orders in excess of 2,500 units. Discontinued NM70-Super Enter the NM706-Super: The motor from the NM70R-6P provides an immediate replacement for the NM70- Super. The NM706-Super is very similar to the original NM70-Super, except that there is no internal circuitry on the PCB, which actually makes the actuator more compatible with user-control via a micro-controller. The NM706-Super is being delivered inside the bottom shell (or base) of the housing, which provides several mounting options as shown below. Also note the flexible plastic band linkage. Mounting Options for NM706-Super The pin-out and circuit diagrams for the NM706-Super are shown below. Note that this is the configuration shown in an earlier Tech Note: Powering the NM70R-6P with the MAD-V5, for which the Miga Analog Driver (MADv5) monitors the Extended pin (END Switch), and safely removes power to prevent overheating of the SMA wires. Pin-out & Circuit Diagrams for NM706-Super The NM706-Super can be removed from the housing (as shown below) to solder electrical connections. When removed from the housing, the PC Board flops outward, as it is held in place only by the clamp configuration of the housing. Be careful not to break off the sensitive Limit Pins when exposed this way. NM706-Super Exploded View If you wish to mount the NM706-Super for standalone operation (not using the plastic housing), you can super-glue the PCB to the base by carefully placing several drops of super glue as shown below.
