M-232.17 High Resolution DC-Mike Actuator, mounted on M-105 translation stage 17 mm Travel Range  0.1 µm Minimum Incremental Motion  Velocity to 2.5 mm/sec.  Closed-Loop DC Motor  Integrated Hall-Effect Limit Switches  Fits M-105 & F-110 Fiber Aligners Application examples: Photonics packaging, fiber alignment, quality control, test equipment, metrology. M-232 is an ultra-high resolution linear actuator providing linear motion up to 17 mm with sub-micron resolution in a compact package.

It features a space saving design with a lead screw side-by-side to a closed-loop DC motor / gearhead combination and a high resolution encoder (2048 counts/rev.).  M-232 was especially designed to fit your existing manual translation stages (e.g. M-105) and F-110  piezoelectric fiber alignment systems as a direct replacement for a manual micrometer.  M-232 actuators provide a cost effective solution for industrial and OEM environments. They feature a low stiction/friction construction allowing for minimum incremental motion of 100 nanometers at speeds up to 2.5 mm/sec. To protect your investment, M-232 actuators include integrated non contacting Hall-Effect limit switches. Each actuator includes an integral 0.5 m cable with 15 pin D-sub connector and a 3 m extension cable. The connector features integrated line drivers for cable lengths up to 10 meters between actuator and controller. Stepper motor driven versions of the M-232 are in preparation.
