Piezo LEGS® Rotary Motor for vacuum and magnetic environments

This is our rotary Piezo LEGS®, with direct drive and 50mNm torque output. The i gives closed loop resolution of 0.2 mrad (0.01°), while open loop resolution is sub-microradian. Full force power-off locking is a safety function inherent to the design.Designed for vacuum and magnetic environments.

Main dimensions Piezo LEGS® LR23-50

Motor performance

Motor performance with waveform Rhomb (filled) and waveform Delta (dotted). The full step length is the average distance the drive rod moves when the legs take one full step (i.e. for one waveform cycle).

Note: A standard deviation σ of 0.5 μm should be taken into account.
Typical values are given for 20ºC.

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.

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.
