Piezosystem Jena

Piezo stack actuators are the building blocks of precision positioning: nanometer resolution, millisecond response and forces up to several kN — wear-free and backlash-free. The range covers standard, sealed, high-dynamics hpower and special-structure versions, with optional sensors for closed-loop operation.

High-dynamics piezo stages are built for speed: stiff flexure guiding and lightweight moving mass deliver kHz-class resonance, so scanning and focus tracking are no longer limited by mechanics. The nanoX / nanoSX / nanoSXY series covers single- and two-axis needs from short travels up to the 800 µm class.

Single-axis piezo stages replace conventional guides with frictionless flexures: no wear, no backlash, sub-nanometer closed-loop resolution. The PX / PU / PZ series covers X and Z directions with travels from 38 µm to 1.5 mm, including vacuum-compatible versions.

Two-axis piezo stages integrate both flexure-guided axes in one low-distortion frame, eliminating stacking errors for true nanometer in-plane positioning. The central aperture suits transmitted-light paths; the PXY series and 12 V D12 versions offer multiple travels and apertures.

Three-axis piezo stages integrate XYZ motion in one monolithic flexure structure, avoiding stacking errors and cumulative deformation — the standard for scanning microscopy and nano-manipulation. The TRITOR family spans cubic-centimeter micro versions to full 400 µm travel.

Five-axis piezo stages combine XYZ translation with two tilt axes in one module: position and orientation in a single element, without the cumulative error and bulk of stacked platforms. The PENTOR series excels at complex alignment of fibers, waveguides and optics.

MIPOS objective positioners mount between objective and turret and move only the objective itself for Z-scanning and autofocus: low inertia, millisecond response, nanometer resolution. With 100–800 µm travels and threads for all major microscope brands — the standard for confocal, super-resolution and digital pathology.

Piezo tip-tilt platforms achieve two-axis angular deflection via differential drive: µrad resolution, millisecond response, wear- and backlash-free. The PSH series and PKS 1 anti-vibration system cover beam alignment, scanning and stabilization.

Piezo shutters and adjustable slits: millisecond switching, continuously tunable slit width, partial opening — without the coil heating and mechanical wear of electromagnetic shutters. The PZS series is the long-life solution for precise light-flux control.

Piezo fiber positioning and switching systems control fiber end faces with nanometer motion: precise alignment, fast switching, position hold at power-off. FSM fiber switches offer 1x2 to 1x9 configurations for optical testing and laser source distribution.

MICI piezo micrometer drives combine manual coarse and piezo fine motion: millimeters by screw, nanometers by piezo. They directly replace standard micrometer heads, instantly upgrading existing manual stages to nanometer fine adjustment — no new platform needed.

Piezo precision grippers handle miniature components with continuously adjustable force and opening: gentle, impact-free motion at nanometer resolution — the precision hands of fiber, micro-optics and MEMS assembly.

Single-channel amplifiers are the standard answer for driving one actuator or stage: 10/40/200/300 mA output classes match different capacitances and dynamics, in bench-top and OEM formats, most with optional closed-loop control.

Multi-channel amplifiers drive several actuators or complete multi-axis stages from one chassis: three-channel 40 mA units map directly to XYZ stages, and with sensor electronics form closed-loop systems — cleaner wiring and integration than multiple single units.

SPI-based controllers replace the analog signal chain with a digital interface: the host commands piezo channels directly via SPI, eliminating DACs and analog wiring. The modular three-channel design is the shortest path to embedding piezo driving in your machine control architecture.

The modular amplifier system grows with your channel count: analog ENV/ENT power modules, sensor electronics and the digital d-Drive controller combine freely in one rack — labs and OEMs configure their own control chassis per application.

High-power amplifiers serve large-capacitance, high-frequency driving: kilowatt-class output and kHz power bandwidth — the power source for hpower actuators and shock/vibration systems. Models include the HPA 1000/10 and LE 1000/035.
