Piezo Motor Systems

Piezo motors drives offer unique properties over conventional drives such as DC or Stepper. With the active element manufactured from ceramic, applications in vacuum and non magnetic environments are feasible. PI have developed two different technologies, PILine® which is based on an ultrasonic drive principle and NEXACT® and NEXLINE® which use a stepping (walking) principle.

P-653 PILine Miniature Linear Motor/Slide - OEM Drive for High Volume Applications

P-653 PILine® OEM piezomotor drives are ideal for OEM applications where space is limited and moved masses are small. These tiny linear positioners can be used to replace classical drive elements like miniaturized motor/spindle systems or other linear motors, which P-653 outclasses with its speed of up to 200 mm/s.
