P-653 PILine® OEM piezomotor slides are ideal for OEM applications where space is at a premium. These tiny linear positioners can be used to replace classical drive elements like miniaturized motor/spindle systems or other linear motors, which P-653 outclasses with its speed of up to 200 mm/s. PILine® piezo linear motors offer a number of advantages over classical motor drives:
* Higher velocities
* Smaller design
* High push/pull and holding forces relative to the drive size
Integration of the P-653 in an application is simple because the moving slider and the piezo actuator are delivered assembled as a unit mounted on a PCB board, incorporating the low voltage drive electronics.
Due to their sterile, non-magnetic, ceramic nature, piezo motors work well in medical design applications.
