June 3, 2016– PI (Physik Instrumente), a provider of precision motion control and positioning solutions, announces the release of the Q-545 compact linear stage, 45mm wide, which combines high positioning accuracy with high force and velocity. The Q-545 is designed to provide advantages for use in research and OEM instrumentation that require positioning precision and alignment, such as photonics, bio-technology, nanotechnology, precision-optics, life-sciences, or medical design.
With holding force of 8N and maximum velocity of 10mm/sec, the self-clamping motor design provides long-term power-off position-hold capabilities.
The stages can be run in open and closed-loop. A high resolution option with integral linear position encoder providing 1 nanometer resolution is also available. Nonmagnetic versions and an ultra-high-vacuum version for pressures of 10 -9 hPa are optional.
Features
- Self-Clamping High Precision Ceramic Motor
- XY Configurations
- Linear Encoder Available
- 8N Feed Force
