PZ245E
P-2x5 Piezo Actuator
NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuator due to mechanical overload!
Torques, bending forces, shearing forces, and lateral forces can destroy the piezo actuator.
Avoid torques and lateral forces on the tip of the P-2x5.
Do
not
exceed the maximum torque and the maximum shearing load on the tip according
to the specifications (p. 41).
Avoid torques on the base when the tip is tightly clamped.
Make sure that the center of load of the moving system is on the motion axis of the piezo
actuator.
Use suitable structures or guide elements (e.g., ball tips or flexure guides) to avoid uneven
load distribution.
Pay attention to the information on parallelism in the "Dimensions" section (p. 45).
Do
not
screw the piezo actuator tight at both ends.
NOTICE
Damage due to unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can damage the P-2x5 and the electronics.
Use cables provided by PI only to connect the P-2x5 to the electronics.
NOTICE
Heating up of the P-2x5 during operation!
The heat produced during operation of the P-2x5 can affect your application.
Install the P-2x5 so that your application is not affected by the dissipating heat.
INFORMATION
Extended cables can affect the performance of the P-2x5.
Only use extension cables from PI (p. 13).
INFORMATION
When handling the vacuum version of the piezo actuator, appropriate cleanliness must be
ensured.
Touch the piezo actuator only with powder-free gloves.
If necessary, wipe the piezo actuator clean.
INFORMATION
The outward motion of the tip corresponds to the positive direction of motion and is
proportional to the operating voltage applied.
