Cryo Linear Actuators

Piezo driven set screws with unrivalled force output and extreme position stability, ideal for set and forget applications.

Cryo Linear Actuators

Product description

A Cryo Linear Actuator (CLA) can be considered as a piezo driven setscrew with high force output and very good stability, ideal for set and forget applications in a cryo-vacuum environment. Piezo ceramics in the disc-shaped head generate torque pulses which cause the connected screw to rotate in the stationary nut, yielding linear motion at the ball tip. Both screw and nut are ceramic and run without coatings or lubrication.

Key features

  • Nanometer stepsize
  • Very large driving force
  • 20 mK to 375K, vacuum compatible
  • Extreme stability due to self locking nature
  • No power dissipation when “off”
  • Robust design for easy handling
  • Full ceramic screw and nut
  • Optical encoder position feedback -COE
