mechonics AG (Munich, Germany) has specialized in stick-slip piezo inertia positioning for over two decades: nanometre steps accumulate into millimetre-range travel, with self-locking position hold at zero power and no heat. Ideal where space is tight, in vacuum (UHV editions) and cryogenic setups, or wherever position must hold through power-off. Product lines: MS/ML/DS miniature linear stages (3.5–30 mm travel, XY/XYZ stackable), MK single-mode fiber couplers, CU/CF/CH drive controllers and NOVA multi-axis controllers. Nahshon is the mechonics distributor for Taiwan.

Product Description

The MS15 is the smallest piezo inertial drive translation stage in the Mechonics portfolio. With a footprint of only 15 x 15 mm, a height of 7 mm and a mass of 6 g, it fits microscopy, optics and micro-assembly applications with extremely limited installation space.

With the CF30 controller a step width of approximately 10 nm is achieved, at velocities up to 1.5 mm/s. The bearing force (Fy, Fz) is 20 N, with a yaw angle of 20 arcsec and a pitch angle of 60 arcsec for excellent motion accuracy. The stages can be stacked into XY and XYZ systems, and vacuum and UHV editions are available.

FAQ

How do I choose between precision grades C3, C5 and C7?

For measurement and machining equipment that need high positioning accuracy, choose the ground-finish C3/C5 grades; for general material handling and automation mechanisms, the rolled-finish C7 grade is sufficient and offers a cost and lead-time advantage.

Can the shaft ends be custom-machined?

Yes. Nahshon offers custom shaft-end machining for NSK ball screws, completing shaft-end turning and heat treatment to your drawings, saving you the in-house machining step.

How do I confirm pricing and lead time for MS.015.0400?

Nahshon is the NSK distributor in Taiwan. Add MS.015.0400 to your inquiry list along with your stroke, load and operating conditions, and we'll confirm the specification, quote and lead time.
