Picomotor Actuators

Nov 2017ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 1, 2017 —
The Newport New Focus 83xx-UHV-NM series of picomotor actuators announced by MKS Instruments Inc. feature Kapton wires and provide ½- or 1-in. of travel.
The actuators can be used in ultrahigh vacuum environments and are suited for beam steering and other scientific motion control applications in vacuum down to 10
−9 Torr, as well as in radiation applications where Kapton wiring is required. The actuators provide >30 nm resolution with minimal backlash, high stiffness and a load capacity of 22 N.
Since picomotor actuators will only move when voltage is applied to the piezo, users can be confident that their setup will stay put with set-and-forget long-term stability even when the system is powered down.
The devices are ideal for applications requiring low magnetic susceptibility and permeability such as e-beam lithography, particle acceleration, scientific MRI scanning and other life sciences or OEM applications.
