Q-632 Miniature Rotation Stage
NOTICE
Operating voltage too high or incorrectly connected!
Operating voltages that are too high or incorrectly connected can cause damage to the Q-632.
Operate the Q-632 only with controllers/drivers and original accessories from PI.
Do
not
exceed the operating voltage range (p. 38) for which the Q-632 is specified.
Operate the Q-632 only when the operating voltage is properly connected; see "Pin
Assignment" (p. 44).
NOTICE
Operating frequency too high!
An excessively high operating frequency can cause damage to the Q-632.
Operate the Q-632 only with controllers/drivers and original accessories from PI.
Do
not
exceed the operating frequency range (p. 38) specified for the Q-632.
NOTICE
Reduced lifetime of the piezo actuator due to permanently high voltage!
Applying a high static voltage to piezo actuators continuously reduces the lifetime of the piezo
ceramic.
If the Q-632 is not used for a longer period of time, e.g., several days, switch the
electronics off.
NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuator due to electric flashovers!
Using the Q-632 in environments that increase the electrical conductivity can lead to the
destruction of the piezo actuator by electric flashovers. Electric flashovers can be caused by
moisture, high humidity, liquids, and conductive materials (e.g., metal dust). In addition,
electric flashovers can also occur in certain air pressure ranges due to the increased
conductivity of the air.
Avoid operating the Q-632 in environments that can increase the electric conductivity.
Operate the Q-632 only within the permissible ambient conditions and classifications
(p. 39).
