LEGS 40N Linear Piezo Actuator for stage mount

Acuvi LEGS® LS40 piezo motor for stage mount

40N vacuum compatible Linear Piezo Actuator for stage mount

  • Motor for linear stage mount
  • Direct drive – backlash free
  • Nanometer resolution
  • No power draw in hold position
  • Quick response & high speed dynamics
  • Vacuum compatible

The Piezo LEGS® LS40 Piezo Motor

 The Piezo LEGS LS40 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 design 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 screwsare needed to create linear motion. This means the motor has no mechanical play or backlash. The Piezo LEGS LS40 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.

Motor 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.
