Key to the P-604’s motion-amplifying flexure design is a multilayer piezo element that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. These energy-efficient piezoceramic drives, with all-ceramic insulation, provide fast response, virtually unlimited positional resolution, humidity resistance, and operate at temperatures to 80°C.
The actuators feature frictionless flexure joints with integrated lever-motion amplifiers.
