Tech Note: Nanopositioning Using Standing Wave Piezoelectric Motors

Combining speed with nanometric precision and unlimited travel Introduction In photonics motion control applications, how do you combine speed with nanometric precision and unlimited travel? These seemingly conflicting requirements are uniquely addressed by ultrasonic, standing-wave, direct-drive piezoelectric motors. This technology provides unlimited linear or rotary motion of a ceramic tip that transfers drive to a […]
