P-131 PIRest Actuators are nanometer-resolution active shims with long-term stability.

P-131.1x: dimensions in mm. Image Credit: PI (Physik Instrumente) LP
Nanometer resolution and micrometer displacement
Load capacity up to 4000 N per actuator
Temperature sensor
Long-term stability without a permanent power supply
Easy readjustment of machines at inaccessible locations
Avoids time-consuming manual adjusting processes
Fields of Application
Precision mechanics
Static precision positioning
Metrology/interferometry
Set-and-forget applications
Adaptive mechanics
Drift compensation
Alignment of optical components
High User-Friendliness Due to Automatic Configuration
When the electronics are turned on, the mechanic’s ID chip, which contains crucial operating characteristics, is automatically read out.
Long-Term Stable Positioning Without Permanent Power Supply
Actuators equipped with PIRest technology keep their position steadily after being moved without a constant control voltage supply. Modifications are affordable, easy to maintain, and with nanometer precision even at remote sites.
