To Motorized Linear Stages & Actuators Overview
M-660 PILine® Rotation Stage
M-660 precision rotation stages use PILine® ultrasonic piezo motors that act on a ceramic friction ring to drive the platform. This direct drive principle allows for the compact design and low profile of the stage. An integrated incremental encoder offers precision position control with up to 40 µm resolution.
