High force: 1 N (~100g load vertical, ~200g horizontal)
High stiffness with crossed roller bearing design
Absolute positioning, quiet operation
The M3-LS-3.4-15 is a direct-drive precision piezoelectric micro
stage with embedded controller, designed for integration into
compact instruments. With long travel and 100 gram vertical load
capacity, it has 0.5 m resolution for precise, repeatable

simplicity for smallest size, fastest integration
All drive electronics are integrated right into the stage housing to
give product designers the smallest system size and fastest,
easiest integration into miniature OEM systems.
