Small pager vibrator motors get mention here from time to time. I'd not seen them advertised new so was interested to see that Digikey has = them In stock at about $US4.70/1 http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/NMB-MAT/KHN4NX1RC.pdf Minebea. 1V, 40 mA. / 2V 80 MA 1.3V , 52 mA nominal rated. Startup 0.5V. 5mm x 5mm x 10 mm 100/40 mS rise fall time to full speed bob weight loaded. 20/20 mS rise fall with 3.2V pulse current limited& duration limited. 9500 RPM at 1.3V (presumably bob weight loaded) Possible use for 'micromanipulator' etc use but, given the original purpose, design operating lifetime may be "modest".
