PI manufactures several types of piezoelectric linear motors: Ultrasonic piezo motors (resonant motors), and Piezo Walk® stepping motors. Both are intrinsically vacuum compatible, non-magnetic and are self locking at rest. They basically provide unlimited travel, yet they are very different in their design, specifications and performance.
PILine® ultrasonic resonant piezo motor actuators are characterized by very high speed to 1000 mm/s and a very compact and simple design (systems down to 8mm in length are available).
NEXLINE® and NEXACT® linear motors can achieve much higher forces and picometer range resolution but are more complex and not as fast.
PiezoWalk® and ultrasonic piezo motors are in principle nonmagnetic and vacuum-compatible, a perfect match for many applications in the semiconductor industry.
