Outstanding lifetime due to PICMAWalk drive

PICMAWalk is the longest-lasting piezo-motorized drive principle on the market. The lifetime of the drives is verifiably more than 100 km under atmospheric conditions. Even under vacuum conditions, a cumulative lifetime of more than 30 km was reached, providing the reference for this class.

 

Nanometer precision and high feed force with PICMAWalk drives

In the PICMAWalk drive, several piezo actuators make a walking motion that leads to the feed of a runner. Control of the actuators enables the smallest step and forward feed movements with nanometer resolution.

In contrast to other piezo-motorized drive principles, PICMAWalk walking drives are not subject to sliding friction effects. They are based on stiction contacts of several piezo actuators that step along a runner. At rest, PICMAWalk walking drives are self-locking, consume no energy, and do not generate heat.

 

Highly accurate position measuring with incremental linear encoder

Noncontact optical linear encoders measure the position directly at the platform with the greatest accuracy. Nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on the measurement.

 

Suitable for sophisticated vacuum applications

N-332.xxU/.xxUY models are designed for use in a vacuum. Piezo walking drives can also be used in cleanrooms or in environments with strong ultraviolet radiation.
