Piezo Assist Motor Operating Principal
Piezo assist motor rotates based on the inertial rotation mechanism inside the housing. This generates thrust and displacement in the direction of the screw shaft. As shown in Fig. 2, the inertial rotation mechanism principal diagram, the screw shaft work as a rotor. The screw shaft is connected to the moment of inertia (rotary knob, etc.). The screw shaft is hold by the contactor with stat-ic friction force. Therefore, no power consumption is needed to maintain the po-sition. When the piezoelectric actuator extends as shown in Fig. 2, contacts A and B move at an opposite direction to each other. An acceleration at contact A and B is created intentionally. The acceleration will take over the static fric-tion and generate a slippage between rotor and contact. The slippage resulted a rotational motion of the screw shaft. As a result, the screw shaft is moved in a thrust direction.

Piezo Assist MotorⓇ Nanometer level alignment
Make your manual stage to nanometer positioning stage
Details:
By just replace the micrometer head with the Piezo Assist MotorⓇ, the manual stage is transform to:
The merits of using Piezo Assist MotorⓇ
⇒Turn your manual stage to nanometer order positioning stage and electrically controlled precision stage
Piezo Assist MotorⓇ is a piezoelectric driven actuator with a resolution of less than 30 nanometers. Manual stage can be transformed into nanometer order positioning stage and electrically controlled precision stage.
Example
1. Transform your manual stage to precision stage
3-axis manual stage equipped with Piezo Assist MotorⓇ
Example:Micromanipulator、Scanning microscope、High resolution microscope etc.
2.Mirror Mount
2-axis mirror mounter with Piezo Assist MotorⓇ
Examples: Interferometer construction, Laser irradiation positioning, Laser welding etc.
Some examples applications
Operating precautions:
1. A high voltage is applied to the Piezo Assist MotorⓇ during operation. Use only specified controllers such as PAMC-104 or PAMC4-485 to drive the motor.
2. If you need to disconnect or plug in the cable from the Piezo Assist MotorⓇ or controller, turn off the power to the controller before doing so.
3. Do not disassemble or modify the piezo assist motor or controller PAMC-104 or PAMC4-485 A S.
4. Do not use the motor near flammable materials or damp or humid areas.
5. If a strange odor, noise, overheating, or heat radiation is detected, please turn off the controller and check the situation.
6. Do not turn on the driver after dropping the controller or subjecting it to impact.
7. Do not touch the PAM during operation, as high voltages are applied during operation.
8. If the Piezo Assist MotorⓇ moves to the threaded end, you can manually adjust the position by turning the adjustment knob.
9. Piezo Assist MotorⓇ is an open loop device. If absolute position is required, a seperate external sensor must be provided, and a closed loop must be configured.
10. During operation, the Piezo Assist MotorⓇ produces high pitch noise.
11. You can prevent grease from sticking by moving the knob from one end to the other to redistribute the grease from time to time. If the motor is not used for a long time, the grease may become hard. In that case, you may be able to fix it by manually turning the knob from one end to the other.
