Ultra Precision (Sub-nm) PiezoWalk® High Force Piezomotors
PI currently manufactures two basic types of piezoelectric linear motors: Ultrasonic linear motors (resonant motors), and stepper motors (PiezoWalk®). Both offer an auto-locking feature and can basically provide unlimited travel, yet they are very different in their design, specifications and performance.

PILine® ultrasonic resonant motors are characterized by very high speed to 800 mm/s and a very compact and simple design (systems down to 8 mm are available).

NEXLINE® & NEXACT® piezo step linear motors can achieve much higher forces and picometer range resolution but are not as fast.

Flexure type piezo linear actuators are best used for smaller ranges but offer extremely fast response to microseconds.

All piezo motors and actuators are in principle nonmagnetic and vacuum-compatible, a perfect match for many applications in the semiconductor industry.
