The PD2(/M) ORIC® open-loop piezo inertia stage can support loads up to 1 kg, operates with no backlash, and can achieve speeds up to 10 mm/s when driven with a PDXC or PDXC2 controller. The ultra-compact piezo inertia drive is self-locking when the stage is at rest and no power is supplied to the piezo, making these actuators ideal for set-and-hold applications that require micrometer resolution and long-term alignment stability.
