Their response times of a few milliseconds and resolution in the sub-nanometer range make all three series suitable for both static and dynamic applications.<br \/>\nThe strain gauge sensors (SGS), which can optionally be employed, improve the linearity of up to 99.8%.<br \/>\nApplications that are particularly suited for employing PiezoMove actuators are for example cavity tuning in laser optics or microscanning in imaging applications. Further applications are dispensers, valves for microdosing devices, pumps in medical technology and biotechnology.<\/p>\n<p>Piezo Actuators With Improved Reliability:<\/p>\n<p>The driving force behind the lever-amplified actuators is provided by the PICMA multilayer actuators from PI Ceramic, a subsidiary of PI. Instead of the usual polymer insulation they have full ceramic encapsulation. This protects them from humidity and failure caused by an increase in the leakage current.<br \/>\nThey are thus much more reliable and durable than conventional piezo actuators. The reliable multilayers are also used in all nanopositioning systems from the same manufacturer. They are produced on a large scale for biometry, medical engineering and image processing and can therefore also convince with their exceptionally good price-performance ratio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lever-amplified piezo actuators of the PiezoMove series from Physik Instrumente (PI) reach travel ranges up to 500 \u00b5m and have been designed for a particularly cost effective production of large quantities.
