P-280 Piezo flexure stages are compact and cost effective positioners and scanners. They are available in three different sizes, with displacements of 30, 50 and 100 µm. P-280 stages can be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position, to easily adapt to specific mounting requirements.

Working Principle
P-280 positioners are equipped with high-voltage piezoelectric contraction strip actuators integrated into a flexure guiding system. The force exerted by the piezo moves a flexure parallelogram. The wire-EDM-cut flexures are FEA modeled for zero stiction/friction and ultra-high resolution.
P-280 flexure stages can be combined to form XY and XYZ combinations (see page see link). Cable mounting positions can be specified (either A, B or C, see drawing) to suit your application. If not specified, the stages are delivered with cable position A. A spacer plate for ease of mounting is provided with the stages.


Notes
See the “Piezo Drivers & Nanopositioning Controllers” section, p. see link ff. for our comprehensive line of low-noise control electronics. See the “Selection Guide” on p. see link ff. for comparison with other nanopositioning systems.
