Nanomotion-Motors-1

Nanomotion’s HR Series motors range in size from a single element (providing 0.4kg of force) to an eight element motor (providing 3.2kg of force). The HR series is capable of driving both linear and rotary stages. The HR series motors have a wide dynamic range of speed, from several microns per second to 250mm/sec and can easily mount to traditional low friction stages or other devices. The unique operating characteristics of the HR Series motors provide inherent braking and the ability to eliminate servo dither when in a static position. Unlimited travel Wide dynamic velocity range– Approved Excellent move & settle Step resolutions to 10nm No intrinsic magnetic field No external magnetic field sensitivity (for non-magnetic version) Vacuum versions available Motor Performance Specifications max velocity (mm/sec) dynamic stall force (N) static hold force (N) Kf force constant (N/volt commanded) Note: All motor performance data is based on using Nanomotion ceramic motors and amplifiers.
