M-686 Open-Frame XY Piezo-Motor Positioning Stage with Linear Encoders

M-686 open-frame piezomotor stages are mainly designed for automated positioning applications in microscopy. The form factor of the M-686 is optimized for a low profile height of 27 mm, footprint and mounting pattern fit directly together with many PI standard nanopositioning systems.
    Specifications:
  • Integrated Closed-Loop PILine® Ultrasonic Piezomotor Drives Provide High Speed to 100 mm/s
  • Integrated Linear Encoders with 0.1 µm Resolution
  • 25 x 25 mm Travel Ranges
  • Low Profile Height: 27 mm
  • Large Clear Aperture 78 x 78 mm
  • Self-Locking at Rest
  • Compatible with PI Piezo Nanopositioning / Scanning Stages

Space Saving Piezomotors
Compared to conventional motorized translation stages, the M-686 provides a lower profile and smaller footprint. The compact PILine® piezoelectric linear motors and high-resolution linear encoders make both, the lead screw duct and the flanged, bulky stepper motor employed in traditional stages obsolete. In addition, the piezomotors are self-locking at rest and hold the stage in a stable position without heating up.
