Nanopositioning Solutions The effects of human operation limit the precision of many optical adjustments. In theory, it is possible to achieve adequate adjustment sensitivity with very fine mechanics. However, in practice, the lateral forces applied to a component during an adjustment often have an excessive effect, making alignments lengthy and frustrating. Also, many optical experiments are extremely sensitive to environmental factors and provide consistent results only when well shielded against external influences. Our nanopositioner solutions are ideal devices for providing exceptional...

Tiny Picomotor™ Actuators •Ultra compact design •Set-and-forget long-term stability Our Tiny Picomotor actuator is a smaller-sized version of our standard Picomotor actuators. We have improved the design so that it will meet even more of your compact-area needs. The Tiny Picomotor actuator is ideal for moving small linear stages, like our Compact Gothic-Arch-Bearing stage. It is also integrated with some of our Pint-Sized mounts. The overall footprint is even smaller now; the cable exits from the side, similarly to our standard Picomotor actuators. For such a small device, it has an...
