PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. PiezoMove Flexure-Guided Linear Actuators P-601

The P-601 is a flexure-guided piezo linear actuator with travel ranges up to 400 µm, resolution down to 0.2 nm, and open-loop operation driven by PICMA® ceramic actuators for extended lifetime. It is constructed with stainless steel housing and integrated flexure guides that eliminate friction, wear, and the need for lubrication. Electrical capacitance ranges from 1.5 µF to 4.6 µF depending on travel length. The actuator supports operating temperatures from -20 °C to 80 °C and is available with or without an integrated SGS indirect position sensor, using LEMO or stranded PTFE-insulated connectors. Recommended controllers include E-610, E-625, and E-831. The unit has a maximum push force of 30 N in X and Y, and 15 to 30 N in Z, and a pull force limit of 10 N in Z. Stiffness ranges from 0.28 N/µm to 0.8 N/µm, with unloaded resonant frequencies from 350 Hz to 750 Hz.
