Product catalog summary
PILine® Ultrasonic Piezomotors Overview
PILine® ultrasonic piezomotors are designed for high-speed, cost-efficient applications with small form factors, suitable for low operating cycles and integration into mobile measuring and medical devices. Key features include silent operation, self-locking at rest, and high velocity capabilities.
Specifications and Features
  • Self-locking when powered off, eliminating the need for additional brakes or electrical currents.
  • Scalable travel ranges with nanometer-precision resolution.
  • Easy mechanical integration and compact design.
  • Holding force up to 15 N and velocity up to 500 mm/s.
  • Resolution to 1 nm.
Applications
PILine® motors are used in automated angle and distance measurement, micromanipulation, automation, biotechnology, and sample positioning. They are ideal for environments with limited space and can be vacuum-compatible.
Product Line and Models
  • U-521 Compact Linear Stage: Features a direct-measuring incremental encoder with up to 100 nm resolution, a travel range of 18 mm, and a velocity of 200 mm/s.
  • U-622 Miniature Rotation Stage: Offers a rotation range of over 360°, high velocity of 720 °/s, and a drive torque of 5 mNm.
  • U-624 Fast Miniature Rotation Stage: Similar to U-622 but with a drive torque of 10 mNm.
  • U-628 Fast Rotation Stage: Features a clear aperture and a drive torque of up to 25 mNm.
  • U-651 Low-Profile Rotation Stage: Provides a high velocity of 720 °/s and a drive torque of 0.3 Nm, with a clear aperture of 36 mm diameter.
Technical Details
Each model includes an integrated, direct-measuring incremental encoder and an optical reference point switch. The stages are designed for high precision and stability, with self-locking capabilities to prevent heat generation and drive noises.
Patents
The technology is protected by US patent no. 6,765,335B2 and European patent no. 1267425B1.

Nanopositioning with piezomotors over long travel ranges Piezomotors are optimally suited for using the specific properties of piezo actuators to achieve longer travel ranges. Adapted to the required force and velocity development, PI provides a series of different piezomotor technologies, each of which focuses on different features. For example, PI piezomotors that feature high stiffness and resolutions in the nanometer range are used for nanometer-precision stages with travel ranges over 1 mm.

PILine® Ultrasonic Piezomotors-3

Motor-leadscrew combinations transform the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion. Due to play in the mechanical compo­ nents responsiveness is limited. Linear motors such as PILine® generate linear motion directly and provide much faster response and better stability. Furthermore, they allow significantly smaller designs. PiezoWalk® Drives like NEXLINE® and NEXACT® offer nanometer resolution with the highest force at low velocities and are intended for low duty cycles. PILine® ultrasonic drives provide fast feeds and a positioning accuracy in the submicrometer range. PIShift drives...
