NA-025-0518-150-SS

Nominal Travel: 25 µm. Stiffness: 60 N/µm. Blocking Force: 1200 N.
DSM's NA series actuators are direct-drive piezoelectric actuators integrated into a protective metallic frame. The frame is typically a monolithic piece of stainless steel or titanium alloy with a flexure-based expansion component. The flexure minimizes the resistance that the frame might impart to the piezoelectric actuation.
