LEGS 15N Linear Piezo Actuator for stage mount
LEGS 15N Linear Piezo Actuator for stage mount: vacuum compatible and non-magnetic
- Motor for linear stage mount
- Direct drive – backlash free
- Nanometer resolution
- Compact, exceptional size to force ratio
- No power draw in hold position
- Quick response & high speed dynamics
- Vacuum or non-magnetic vacuum
The Piezo LEGS® LS15 Piezo Actuator
The Piezo LEGS LS15 linear motor is intended for a large range of OEM applications. Design focus has been for ease of integration for stage mount. The very high speed dynamics and nanometer resolution makes it ideal for numerous applications.
The LEGS technology is characterized by its outstanding precision. Compact size and quick response time, as well as long service life are other benefits. In combination with the nanometer resolution the technology is quite unique.
The motor is ideally suited for move and hold applications or for automatic adjustments of a linear stage unit. When the motor is in hold position it does not consume any power. The drive technology is direct, meaning no gears or lead screws
are needed to create linear motion. This means the motor has no mechanical play or backlash. The Piezo LEGS LS15 linear motor is vacuum compatible

Controlling the motor
Our motor control units come in many different versions, with controllers and amplifiers for laboratory use as well as for integration into OEM devices. These controllers are compatible with the compact linear actuator for optimal performance.
We can also license the drivers for customers that want to build their own driver electronics.
Starter Kit
Our Starter Kits are designed to simplify evaluation and accelerate development. Available in multiple configurations, they provide everything needed to begin testing and integrating your selected motor platform.
Each kit includes the required components to evaluate the motor.
