Nanopositioning of high loads, such as detectors or cameras can be a difficult task. In addition, many applications require large travel ranges, but have limited installation space available. Attocube’s new ECSz5050 piezo drive has been developed to meet these demands: it offers an orientation independent force of 8N over a travel range of 8mm, without adding to the small footprint of the ECS5050 series (50mm x 50mm). The ECSz5050 is an ideal choice for lateral motion setups, and can be easily combined with the whole range of rotators, goniometers and linear positioners of attocube’s Industrial Line portfolio.
