The Q-545 mini positioning stage is driven by a high-force stick slip motor, based on a slightly different design compared to the Q-521 and Q-522 stages. A linear encoder is integrated for nanometer-scale precision. Vacuum versions, and non-magnetic versions are also offered. The piezo inertia drive runs at inaudible frequencies and is self-clamping at rest with position holding forces around 2 lbs.
