Stages with Magnetic Direct-Drive Linear Motor

The majority of dynamic stages are possible with the frictionless magnetic direct drive technology. They employ fewer mechanical parts than motor-spindle-based stages, which reduces friction and backlash and increases precision.

For even superior performance, PI's PIglide stages combine the magnetic direct drive with extremely accurate preloaded air bearings.

PIMag®

PI has many standard and customer-specific positioning solutions on offer that are equipped with magnetic direct drives; the company has also many years of experience in the design, construction, and manufacture of the necessary system components such as guides, sensors, control technology, and software. PI can also develop proprietary magnetic motors if positioning systems need to achieve specific performance characteristics that cannot be reached by using drive components currently available on the market, for example, to achieve a high force density or a compact design. These >> proprietary motors, developed in-house, are identified by the PIMag® brand name.
