Vacuum-Compatible, Non-Magnetic and Suitable for Low Temperatures PI‘s piezoelectric drive systems can be modified to cope with extreme ambient conditions, such as ultrahigh vacuum, strong magnetic fields or extremely low temperatures. Piezoceramics are intrinsically compatible with these extreme conditions, but the selection of the right system components and the assembly process requires a lot of experience. PI miCos is an expert in classical drive technologies for UHV, in particular when it comes to designing complex multi-axis systems for high loads and long travel ranges. Medical...
