Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The PPS-20 is a high-precision, long travel linear piezo stage. Miniature cross-roller
bearings assure high stiffness and guiding accuracy for loads up to 20N (Horizontal
orientation). It utilizes our patent-pending multi-phase piezo motor resulting in high
speed (>2mm/s) and high blocking force (>2N). The PPS-20 is available in travel
lengths of up to 51mm in open loop or with an external encoder, and an optional
linear encoder provides nanometer repeatability. Vacuum, Ultra High Vacuum
(10
-9
mbar) and/or Cryo (<77 Kelvin) compatible versions are available.
Features:
▪
Travel ranges of 12mm, 18mm, 26mm, and 51mm
▪
Load capacity up to 2kg
▪
Optional linear encoder
