Saw an article from Global Design News on a piezo electric motor from Willem
Van Abkoude, Philips Components B.V., Building Ap., Bredeweg 10, 6042 GC
Roermond, The Netherlands Tel + 31 4750 85364. Fax ?

It has an impressive .01 micron step size and up to 32mm/sec speed. Not sure
if the 3N force is available at all speeds. Can but ask.
