Applications
Space-constrained assemblies
Add a driven axis where there is no room for a full-size stage body.
Probe and tip positioning
Advance a probe, fibre or needle into contact within a crowded measurement head.
Multi-axis stacking
Build compact XY or XYZ stacks whose total height stays inside a tight optical envelope.
Specifying this part
What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it
Nanometre steps in a very small envelope
6 mm of travel with sub-nanometre open-loop resolution in a body small enough to sit inside a confined assembly. The trade is payload and velocity, both modest against the Lab series.
Vacuum and non-magnetic versions
Most of the range is orderable as .HV (high vacuum), .UHV (ultra-high vacuum) or .NM (non-magnetic). The suffix changes materials, cabling and bake compatibility rather than the mechanics, so specify it against the chamber the stage will live in.
Full series comparison, controller pairing and mounting hardware on the ambient piezo stages overview, or work through the selection with the configurator.
