1.1
Intended Use
The E-651 / E-614 is a laboratory device according to DIN EN
61010-1. It is intended to be used in interior spaces and in an
environment which is free of dirt, oil and lubricants.
The E-651 / E-614 is designed and intended for driving of
PICMA
®
multilayer bending actuators (i.e., capacitive loads)
such as the PL-112 to PL-140, and P-871 from PI.
For closed-loop operation, the actuators must be equipped with
strain gauge sensors, as this is the case with P-871 actuators.
The E-651 / E-614 must not be used for purposes other than
those named in this user manual. In particular, the E-651 / E-
614 must not be used to drive ohmic or inductive loads.
The E-651 / E-614 can be used for static as well as dynamic
applications.
