NEXACT® Piezo Stepping Drive with Subnanometer Encoder Resolution
NEXACT® reference-class linear positioner
Linear positioner with NEXACT® PiezoWalk® drives allow high-precision positioning in the nanometer range over long travel
ranges. They are equipped with direct-measuring linear encoders and crossed roller bearings for the highest accuracy.
PiezoWalk® technology: High resolution and low wear
The PiezoWalk® technology combines the technological advantages of piezo actuators with those of piezomotors.
PiezoWalk® walking drives offer not only subnanometer resolution, high forces, and high stiffness but allow theoretically
unlimited travel ranges. In contrast to other piezo-motorized drive principles, PiezoWalk® 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,
PiezoWalk® walking drives are self-locking, consume no energy, and do not generate heat.
Direct position measuring with PIOne linear encoder
The high-resolution PIOne encoder was developed by PI and, with corresponding processing of the measured value, allows a
position resolution of much less than one nanometer. In addition, due to the short signal period and the high quality of the
signals, the linearity error of PIOne encoders is less than 1 %. PIOne encoders support direction sensing when evaluating a
reference signal.
