Simply Better ™ Photonics Picomotors™ How the Picomotor™ Actuator Works The patented design of the Picomotor actuator relies on the basic difference between dynamic and static friction. A graphic example of this is the “tablecloth trick,” in which a quick pull of the cloth leaves the dishes on the table (low dynamic friction), while a slow pull of the tablecloth ends up pulling the dishes off the table (high static friction and a big mess!). Our Picomotor actuator uses the same principle with a threaded jaw, similar to two halves of a split nut, clamped around a precision 80-pitch screw. One...

Picomotor™ Actuators Picomotor actuators are ideal devices for motorizing fine-positioning stages and mounts in your optical or mechanical systems. Use them with our optomechanical translation stages or your own custom devices. They have better than 30-nm resolution with minimal backlash, and can exert a 5-lb (22-N) force Moreover, they have exceptional longterm stability and the ability to hold their position with no power applied. These last two features make the Picomotor From left to right-. Models 8353, 8341, 8301, 8302, ami 8303. actuators unique among motion-control devices and ideal for...

Simply Better'" Photonics Picomotor™ Optical Mounts Our Model 88xx motorized optical mounts combine the precision of our standard mounts with the resolution of our Picomotor actuator to provide the ultimate in precision motorized optical alignment. The compact Picomotor actuator housing adds only 0.75" (19.1 mm) to the overall thickness of these mounts. The angular resolution of these mounts is 0.7 ujad For an affordable solution for motorized tip and tilt alignment, use the Model 8807 motorized version of our popular 1" center mount. Unlike our other motorized mounts, this mount has Picomotor...

Picomotor™ Stability Series Optic Diameter[in. The Model 8816-6 combines the stability of our Stability™ mounts with the precision and stiffness of our Picomotor actuators to provide the ultimate in precision motorized optical alignment. The compact Picomotor actuator housing adds only 0.75" (19.1 mm) to the overall thickness of these mounts. And, with two standard Picomotor actuators to provide tip and tilt adjustment, you have complete remote control. The unique optic-retention system minimizes wavefront distortion of the mounted optic as well as maximizes overall mechanical stability. Mirror...

Simply Better ™ Photonics Picomotor™ Rotary Stage With a resolution better than 0.2 mrad and an overall thickness of just 0.63" (16.0 mm), our compact stainless-steel motorized rotary stages can be used for a number of applications, including positioning wave plates and polarizers .Each rotary stage includes an adapter for mounting components with a 1" (25-mm) diameter. For motorized beam-steering applications, use our 45° adapters PN 9922.If positional repeatability is important to you we recommend our 8410 Closed Loop version. 8401 (8401-M) Motorized Axes Resolution- Angular (mrad) Maximum...

Gothic Arch Bearing Picomotor™ Linear Stages We’ve incorporated our Picomotor actuators with our gothic-arch-bearing translation stages to achieve the ultimate in stability and rigidity along with remote-control operation. When ordering specify which axis or axes you wish motorized with a “P” in the model number for Picomotor actuator, and “N” for manual micrometer. For instance, Model 9062-XY-PN is for a motorized X-axis and a manual Y-axis. All necessary clamps, brackets and base plates are included so that the stage can be used right out of the box. These motorized stages offer stainless-steel...
