Positioning stages with piezo inertial drives   

mechOnics Micropositioning Systems   

Founded 2003 in Munich, mechOnics is a specialist in micropositioning systems, offering a complete range of positioning stages with piezo inertial drives. Direct drive of the linear axis by slip / stick rod means there is zero backlash or rotation.

Travel ranges of 2 to 30 mm are available with speeds of up to 2 mm/s. Linear stages are available in X, XY and XYZ configuration together with tilt options offering up to 6 degrees of tilt. Vacuum compatible and ultra low temperature versions are also available.

Position Sensors can be fitted for closed loop operation and a number of motor controllers are offered.

A comprehensive catalogue and price list can be downloaded from the Documents tab above.
