Mar 16, 2010
The compact Nexact piezo stepping drives from Physik Instrumente (PI) provide high forces of 10N and velocities of more than 10mm/s.
At resolutions of a few nanometres, they replace the typical stepper or DC servomotors in applications that depend on the combination of force and resolution on large travel ranges.
NEXACT piezo stepping drives from Physik Instrumente
The E-862 driver electronics are suitable for the Nexact drives when operated in open loop or when used with an external positioning and velocity control.
By using an analogue input signal, the driver can be connected with external motion controllers or it can be controlled directly using a joystick.
Nexact piezo stepping drives are direct linear drives and are, therefore, not subject to precision losses due to a conversion of rotational to linear motion.
The position is locked when not in operation - the drive does not need to have power supplied and does not heat up.
In cooperation with the PI Ceramic subsidiary, PI produces piezo drives to custom requirements.
