(a) Specifications are measured using the KIM101 Piezo Inertia Controller. See manualfor complete specifications.

(b) This value can vary by up to 20% and is not normally repeatable due to component variance, change of direction, and application conditions.

(c) This can be adjusted by changing the piezo drive voltage - refer to the controller manual for more details.

(d) The axial force applied to the drive tip to achieve the specified step size. A minimum of 5 N is recommended to enhance stepping behavior.

(e) A higher maximum load is possible but it may decrease the typical step size.

(g) This actuator is not compatible with our Polaris mirror mounts.

(h) Controllers are sold separately. These actuators can also be controlled using the legacy TIM101 T-Cube controller.
