A-523 Z-Tip-Tilt Precision Air Bearing / Linear Motor Stage for Alignment


  • High Force / Load
  • Nanometer and Sub-Microradian Resolution
  • Very Low Profile
  • Large 10" Platform
  • Clean Room Compatible
  • Frictionless and Wear Free
  • Can be combined with X-Y-Theta Stage to form low Profile 6-Axis Stage

This unique 3-axis air bearing table combines high resolution, speed and load capacity in a very low profile unit. Driven by 3-phase linear motors and precision guided by air bearings, the unit can be used for extremely fast and accurate alignment applications in optics, photonics, medical engineering and other mechatronics applications.

N-480 Tip/Tilt Kinematic Mounts


  • High stability
  • For optics with 0.5", 1" or 2" diameter
  • Compact design with integrated incremental encoder
  • Step size 1 µrad
  • Lifetime >1,000,000,000 steps
  • Vacuum-compatible versions to 10-6 hPa available

These tip/tilt kinematic positioners are designed for optics, mirrors and small loads and feature resolution and repeatability superior to that of many goniometric cradles. Spring preloading eliminates backlash. The PiezoMotor Ratchet Drives allow ultra-high-resolution, and are self locking when powered off

PI is the leading manufacturer of high-accuracy hexapods. The company introduced its first hexapod 2 decades ago for a precision optical alignment system in an astronomical telescope and provides a large variety of different models with load capacity from 2 kg to more than 2,000 kg. PI piezo Hexapods and electro-mechanical Hexapods have many advantages over conventional multi-axis positioning systems and hydraulic positioners. They are smaller, offer much higher precision and most are self-locking. Available in many sizes and configurations.
