Nonrotating tip
Sub-nm resolution with optional piezo drive

quote / order

M-227, dimensions in mm. Note that a comma is used in the drawings instead of a decimal point.

Compact precision-class linear drive

High-resolution DC mike with closed-loop gearhead motors and rotary encoder. For installing into mechanical systems with external limit switches.

High-quality components

Nonrotating tip for uniform motion prevents wobble, torque, and wear at the point of contact. Incl. flat tip for decoupling forces. With differential encoder driver in the connector for a safe position signal transmission at distances up to 10 m
