How much does a piezo motor cost to replace a belt drive motor?
In some cases it seems like the kind of lab equipment that can bleed some QC or analytical place dry for no good reason.
If similarly priced its a great achievement though.
Lol, it sets off an alarm for me. Like if there is some new lab equipment that makes something spin by some other means but then its like 5000% more expensive.
I just know, there is the laboratory interior decorators ministry that will think a 2 foot long belt ruins the decour of the lab bench that's going to be empty. And they will pay 500% extra if you can replace a box shape with a mitered box shape.
Oh man I know some people if you put like a swiss rubber belt drive type mechanism in their building they won't ever sleep soundly again. Like one of those belt drive vacuum pumps. The old ones. To them its like you put a dead racoon on the table. They need the throw away "mitered" look box vacuum pump instead, so you can neatly stack them in a dumpster once they get fried

the illusion of high tech. it might make sense in a nuclear submarine, but not your lab
