Physik Instrumente (PI) has introduced the Piezomove series of lever-amplified actuators, which can be used in demanding positioning tasks.

According to the company, the actuators cover the level of integration between preloaded stack actuators (displacement of up to around 100µm) and complete multi-axis stages in PI’s product range.

In order to improve guiding precision, the piezo actuators are mechanically integrated into flexures.

As a result, there is no danger of rotation or lateral displacement; at the same time, the flexures translate the displacement of the piezo into larger travel ranges.

The Piezomove actuators are available in three versions

  • The P-601 lever-amplified actuators have travel ranges of up to 400μm, a high positioning accuracy and compact dimensions.
  • The P-602 lever-amplified actuators operate with large travel ranges of up to 1mm; thanks to their flexible design, multilayer actuators with a footprint of 10 x 10mm can be used here to increase the stiffness and to produce greater force generation.
  • The P-603 lever-amplified actuators achieve travel ranges of up to 500µm and are said to be designed for particularly cost-optimised large-scale production.

PI is a global manufacturer of high precision positioning systems and products based on piezo technology. Used in markets as diverse as biotechnology, semiconductor, defence and astronomy, PI’s products work to improve the speed and precision of many cutting edge processes. Actuators, sensors and positioning systems with either sub-micron or nanometre level precision; many customised for the end user, are included in the product range.

With manufacturing and subsidiary offices around the world and a workforce of more than 500 PI provides direct local support where it is needed. Products range from component level piezo ceramic assemblies to six axis hexapod positioning robots. PI manufactures its own piezo ceramic material including multilayer devices that incorporate its patented ceramic insulation technology. Lead free ceramic technology is now also included in the company’s product range. With the flexibility and continuity of supply offered by having control of piezo ceramic production comes security and speed of delivery for customers who rely on or are looking to move into this area of technology. PI’s piezo ultrasonic and step drive motor technologies offer unique performance including self-locking capability, high force or high speed and non-magnetic and vacuum compatibility.
