PI's PICMA(r) Long Life Piezo Ceramic Encapsulated PZT Actuators provide higher lifetime than other actuators on the market.

PI piezo stages provide fast response in the millisecond range an below, flatness in the nanometer range and below and sub-nanometer precision. Single axis to six-axis piezo stages are available with travel ranges to 1 mm.

Flexure Guidance: Precision flexure motion is based on the elastic deformation (flexing) of a solid material. Friction and stiction are entirely eliminated, and flexures exhibit high stiffness, load capacity and resistance to shock and vibration. Flexures are maintenance free and not subject to wear. They are vacuum compatible, operate over a wide temperature range and require neither lubricants nor compressed air for operation.

Hi-Speed Piezoelectric Drives: With piezo drives, capable of accelerations of up to 10,000 g, and their low moved mass, such piezo stages can provide significantly higher scanning speeds than motorized systems.
