Piezoelectric Actuators and Stages for
Micropositioning and Nanopositioning Applications


ZSA-1000 Large Stroke Stage
DSM's flexure-guided piezoelectric actuators and stages are linear actuators for precision motion control and positioning applications. Our piezo actuators can be custom designed for specific micropositioning, nanopositioning, and scanning application requirements including vacuum compatibility and non-magnetic environments.

The FlexFrame PiezoActuator™ product family uses solid-state flexures as pivot joints to provide smooth, stiction-free and backlash-free motion for critical positioning applications. FlexFrame products are lever mechanisms that mechanically amplify the output motion of piezoelectric elements. Piezo actuators require no lubrication, and because there are no internal components sliding on each other, there are no particulates generated from the actuator's motion.

Please refer to the following links to learn more about DSM's piezoelectric actuator products.
