The P-840 and P-841 series translators are high-resolution linear actuators for static and dynamic applications. They provide sub-millisecond response and sub-nanometer resolution.
Design
These translators are equipped with highly reliable multilayer piezo ceramic stacks protected by a non-magnetic stainless steel case with internal spring preload. The preload makes them ideal for dynamic applications and for tensile loads as well.
Ceramic Insulated Piezo Actuators Provide Long Lifetime
The highest possible reliability is assured by employing the award-winning PICMA® multilayer piezo actuators. PICMA® actuators are the only actuators on the market with a ceramic-only insulation, which makes them resistant to ambient humidity and leakage-current failures. They are thus far superior to conventional actuators in reliability and lifetime.
Optimum UHV Compatibility - Minimum Outgassing
The lack of polymer insulation and the high Curie temperature make for optimal ultra-high-vacuum compatibility (no outgassing / high bakeout temperatures, up to 150 °C).
Mounting
Mounting is at the foot, with push/pull forces of less than 5 N, the actuator can be held by clamping the case. The versions with ball tip decouple torque and off-center forces from the piezoceramic. To provide magnetic coupling, the P-176.20 magnetic adapter can be screwed into the top piece (only for versions without ball tip).

High Accuracy in Closed-Loop Operation
The standard model P-840 is designed for open-loop positioning. Version P-841 with integrated high-resolution strain gauge position sensors provides high precision for closed-loop operation (further details see link).
Piezo Drivers, Controllers & Amplifiers
High-resolution amplifiers and servo-control electronics, both digital and analog, are described in the “Piezo Drivers / Servo Controllers” (see link) section.
