PI's motor actuators are nonmagnetic, vacuum-compatible and achieve significantly higher forces and resolution than other piezo motor designs
PI has produced a brochure on ultra-high precision piezo ceramic linear motors.
These motor actuators are nonmagnetic, vacuum-compatible and achieve significantly higher forces and resolution than other piezo motor designs, such as ultrasonic motors or inertial motors.
The new linear motors are based on the PiezoWalk principle and achieve forces from 2 to 60kg per actuator.
They are available in two versions: Nexline, for higher force, and Nexact, which is smaller and faster.
In addition to a long-range step mode, both also provide a very high dynamics sweep/scanning mode, enabling 50pm of resolution and a kHz range bandwidth.
These motor actuators are also available as drive systems in nanopositioning linear stages and multi-axis positioning systems, such as six-axis hexapods or tripod Z/tip/tilt platforms.
