stack type actuator with mechanical pre-load
motion up to 145 µm
sub-nm resolution
high stiffness up to 190 N/µm
blocking force up to 850 N
tensile forces up to150 N
high dynamic properties
msec response time
epoxy ceramic insulation
option: positioning feedback sensor for closed loop control applications:
nanopositioning
scanning microscopy
micromanipulation
microinjection
optical adjustment
laser fine tuning
mirror adjustment
mirror positioning
The actuators of the PA series are internally pre-loaded by a mechanical spring, making them ideal for dynamic applications. The ability to generate a large force, and be subjected to high mass loading, make them particularly useful for machine tools and dynamic scanning systems. As an option, these actuators are available with strain gauges. This option will increase the length of the outside diameter to 14 mm and the accuracy to within nanometer range. A note on mounting these actuators: Actuators are normally fastened with screws or clamps to the bottom plate. If the top plate has a torque nut, it should be used when securing screws in order to avoid damage to the actuator. Please avoid tensile forces greater than the given pre-load!
