The DSP50 is a multi-phase piezo inertial drive linear stage developed for the new generation of Mechonics NOVA controller devices. It handles up to 16 N of blocking force over a travel range of 10 mm. Several piezo inertia drives operate together in multiple phases; with its specialist multi-phase controller (NDMS1) the stage achieves extremely uniform movement at speeds of up to 1 mm/s.
An optical sensor allows movement detection with a resolution of 1 nm and high repeatability. The stage is available as a uniaxial, biaxial or triaxial positioning system, for standard and vacuum conditions.
The very compact design (50 x 50 x 16 mm), reproducibility and outstanding precision make the DSP50 suitable for many fields of use such as optical measurement and adjustment.
