PI publishes Ultrasonic Piezo Motors catalogue

Ultrasonic piezo mechanisms are direct drive motors with self-locking properties. They cover a very large dynamic range with velocities from microns/second to 100s of millimetres/second. The ceramic nature makes them intrinsically vacuum compatible. Easily integrated into other components, piezo motors do not generate or are affected by magnetic fields, making them suitable for E-beam and electron Microscopy applications.

Small, highly responsive digital motion controllers are available to match the performance and properties of the ultrasonic drive principle.

Standard positioners include thumbnail-sized miniature rotary stages, matchbox-sized linear stages and large XY stages for applications such as scanning microscopy. In addition to the many standard products presented in the new catalogue, PI can quickly modify existing product designs or provide a fully customised OEM part to fit the exact requirements of the application.

Applications include semiconductor applications, photonics, bio-nano-technology, metrology, microscopy, micro-manipulation, including cleanroom applications.
