DSM - Piezoelectric Positioning Systems - DSM - #4

DSM's FPA-100 is a flexure-based piezoelectric actuator ideal for both dynamic and static applications where precise and accurate positioning is required. The FPA-100 is mechanically preloaded to ensure bi­directional operation, providing increased resilience to mechanical loads when compared to non-preloaded actuators. The kinematic mechanism provides high-stroke operation in an exceptionally small package.

The FPA-100's compact design is well-suited to many applications and comes standard in a durable, non-corrosive stainless steel design pre-tapped with threaded mounting holes to match a customer's requirements.

The FPA-100 actuator is generally manufactured with low voltage (150V) piezo material, but other piezo materials and voltages are available by request.

DSM has extensive experience in actuator design for specialized force or stroke requirements. Customers are encouraged to contact DSM regarding any specific actuator requests.
