PILine® Miniature Piezo Linear Motor
P-653 PILine® OEM piezomotor slides are ideal for OEM applications where space is at a premium. These tiny linear positioners can be used to replace classical drive elements like miniaturized motor/spindle systems or other linear motors, which P-653 outclasses with its speed of up to 200 mm/s. PILine® piezo linear motors offer a number of […]
Linear Motor Stage from Aerotech
The ALS130H, with its sub-nanometer resolution, bi-directional repeatability, and low-velocity performance is the unparalleled solution for high performance test, measurement, inspection, and other demanding applications. The ALS130H employs a center-driven, non-cogging linear motor as the driving element. Since the linear motor is a direct-drive device, there is no backlash, windup, or “stiction” normally associated with […]
