Piezo Actuator Selection Guide

Piezo Translators (PZTs) are solid state (ceramic) actuators that directly convert electrical energy into motion (mechanical energy). Advantages of Polytec PI's Piezos include:

     
  • Sub-nanometer resolution.
  • Zero stiction/friction.
  • Zero backlash.
  • Very high stiffness .
  • No wear and tear.
  • Fast response (sub-millisecond).
  • Widest range, highest quality of piezo actuators world wide (>10,000 different piezo configurations).
  • Low voltage (100 V) and high voltage (1000 V) versions.
  • Optional integrated position feedback sensors for closed loop operation and non-linearity compensation.
  • Ultra high vacuum, low temperature, and high temperature options available.
  • Wide selection of piezo electronics (amplifiers, position servo controllers, computer interfaces), and software.
  • OEM and custom designs.
