PI’s patented P-653 piezo motor linear slide is significantly smaller than other miniature linear stages and provides significantly higher velocities and resolution.
PI's new line of compact ceramic piezo motors & nanopositioning actuators replaces classical actuators & motion control components in precision motion control applications such as found in the semiconductor, photonics and nano-biotechnology. High-speed motors, high force actuators and zero-wear flexure designs are available.
PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P., a leading manufacturer of nanopositioning and precision motion-control equipment for nano-biotechnology, life science and photonics applications, has extended its PIHera® family of compact X, XY and Z flexure-guided piezo nanopositioning tables, now offering record travel ranges to 1.8 mm.
Piezo specialist PI’s flexure-based piezo actuators such as the P-601 series provide up to 10 times larger travel ranges than classical piezo stack actuators a in low profile package, with virtually unlimited resolution and lifetime

New Linear Ultrasonic Micro Motor for Precision Mechatronic Systems
|
| This paper presents a new design for a linear ultrasonic micromotor for precision positioning developed by Physik Instrumente (PI). The stator of the ultrasonic motor consists of a rectangular piezoceramic plate. Two sliders, bonded to a spring which presses them against the stator, move along guides integrated in the stator. These motors are characterized by their extremely simple construction.
Two prototypes of the motors using a 9x4x1.5 mm3 and a 16x8x1.5 mm piezoceramic plate have been designed and tested. |

Advances in Piezoelectric Multilayer Actuator Technology
|
| Co-fired piezoelectric multilayer actuators have found an increasing interest in the last years. Especially, influenced by the development of the piezoelectric driven fuel injection technology new products have been commercialized. The known actuators are based on the well known interdigital design. We have focused our work on the development of an actuator design with buried electrodes (cofired encapsulatoin). Results of the investigations of the actuator properties and of some life time tests will be presented. |
