The P-080 tubular piezo stack is designed to provide high stiffness and force as well as long travel ranges. As a multilayer stack actuator, the product’s through-hole enables it to be used for preloading or as an aperture for optical applications. Microsecond response, sub-nanometer resolution and a low operating voltage, along with minimal power consumption while holding the position, make the stack suitable for many precision motion tasks in optics, semiconductors, photonics and precision-engineering applications. The stacks come in displacement ranges of 5, 11 and 25 microns with up to 850-N blocking force. The operating temperature range is -40 to 150 °C.
