PIA Series Piezoelectric Inertia Actuators
Brand: ThorLabs | Category: Scientific & Laboratory Equipment
Stick-slip piezo actuators that replace a manual adjuster on a mirror mount or translation stage, giving nanometre steps over a long travel range with no backlash. They hold position without power once stepping stops.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Travel | 10 mm, 13 mm, 25 mm or 50 mm depending on model |
| Typical step size | 10 to 30 nm, adjustable up to 30% |
| Speed | 1.2 to 3.6 mm per minute continuous stepping |
| Maximum step frequency | 2000 Hz; no backlash |
| Maximum active axial preload | 13 N to 30 N depending on model |
| Lifetime | more than 1 billion steps on the PIA series; requires a KIM001 or KIM101 controller |

- Amplified Piezoelectric Actuators, 220 µm to 2500 µm Travel
Discrete piezo stacks mounted inside a flexure housing that acts as a lever, greatly increasing the free stroke while keeping the fast response of the stack. They are backlash free and suitable for open or closed loop use.
- DRV120 Modular Piezoelectric Actuator
A piezo drive that fits between a NanoMax stage and its existing actuator, adding fine travel with strain gauge feedback for closed loop control. It also fits any stage that accepts a 9.5 mm mounting barrel.
- Precision Kinematic Mirror Mounts (KS Series)
Three adjuster kinematic mirror mounts with a thicker back plate and stiffer springs than the standard two adjuster design. Sizes cover half inch to 4 inch optics, with lockable and differential adjuster versions for beam steering that must hold alignment over long periods.
