Multi-axis Actuators with Highly Linear Displacement P-405 ■ Lead-free, crystalline actuator material ■ High dynamics ■ Ideal for operation without position control ■ Low electrical power consumption ■ Minimal length tolerances Stack actuator Bipolar operating voltage up to ±500 V. Nearly hysteresis-free motion (<0.2 %). No creep. Picoactuators®, as longitudinal and shear actuators, are configurable up to heights of 20 mm and maximum travel ranges of ±1.5 ^m. Technology Picoactuator' longitudinal and shear actuators consist of a crystalline piezoelectric material. The specific displacement for shear actuators is ±0.02 % of the actuators length and ±0.01 % for longitudinal piezo actuators. This value is ten times lower when compared to piezo actuators made of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The motion is highly linear and almost hysteresis-free. Customized versions and other specifications on request ■ UHV-compatible to 10-9 hPa ■ Inner hole ■ Tips Fields of application ■ Industry and research ■ Vacuum applications ■ High dynamics, open-loop scanning applications ■ Compensation of undesired transverse motion with nanopositioning systems ("out-of-plane" and "out-of-line")

Travel range: At -500 to 500 V. Electrical capacitance: Measured at 1 Vpp, 1 kHz, RT. Axial resonant frequency: Measured at 1 Vpp, unloaded, undamped. The value is halved for unilateral clamping. Ask about customized versions!
