Series RA
- Motion up to 50 µm open-loop, 40 µm closed-loop
- Free inside diameter of 9 mm or 14 mm
- Sub nm resolution
- Blocking force up to 4000 N
- µsec response time
- Flexible epoxy insulation
Series RA ring actuators consist of a large number of contacted ceramic discs. Compared with a tube actuator, the ring actuator reaches a higher stiffness and the expansion is twice as high.
Series RA piezo actuators are encased, and also include a mechanical pre-load so they can be used in dynamic applications.
Series RA actuators are available for open-loop systems, and closed-loop (strain gauge) systems.
