M-232 is an ultra-high resolution linear actuator providing linear motion up to 17 mm with sub-micron resolution in a compact package.
It features a space saving design with a lead screw side-by-side to a closed-loop DC motor / gearhead combination and a high resolution encoder (2048 counts/rev.).
M-232 was especially designed to fit your existing manual translation stages (e.g. M-105) and F-110 piezoelectric fiber alignment systems as a direct replacement for a manual micrometer. M-232 actuators provide a cost effective solution for industrial and OEM environments. They feature a low stiction/friction construction allowing for minimum incremental motion of 100 nanometers at speeds up to 2.5 mm/sec.
To protect your investment, M-232 actuators include integrated non contacting Hall-Effect limit switches. Each actuator includes an integral 0.5 m cable with 15 pin D-sub connector and a 3 m extension cable. The connector features integrated line drivers for cable lengths up to 10 meters between actuator and controller.
Stepper motor driven versions of the M-232 are in preparation. For higher loads and travel ranges refer to the M-230 and M-235 datasheets
