Direct-drive linear motors, actuators & stages:
Xeryon offers direct drive linear actuators, motors and stages powered by our patented Crossfixx™ direct-drive ultrasonic motor.
This allows for efficient and reliable high-speed, high-precision movement capacity in a very compact design.
All of our products hold position without power, a crucial difference with magnet-based linear motion products. When in position, the motor is turned off and held by mechanical force. This means no continuous current is needed, no thermal issues, and no necessity for cooling. Also, this results in ultra-stable, drift-free and backlash-free motion.
Direct-drive linear actuators
Our direct-drive linear actuators are represented in our XLA product line.
These compact, gearless actuators are very small, lightweight and highly integrable. They are commonly used in demanding, high-precision environments such as medical devices, semicon manufacturing robots and metrology applications.
General specifications:
Dimensions: starting at 22,7 x 14,8 x 5,4mm.
Weight: starting at 5,5 grams.
Stroke length (travel range) from 5 mm up to 300 mm.
Speeds up 1000 mm/s.
Encoder resolutions between 50 µm and 78 nm.
Driving forces 1N, 5N or 10N (ultrasonic piezo).
Lifetime >1000 kilometers or 20 million cycles.
Additional beneficial properties:
Optional integrated controller.
Low power consumption (<5W).
Low voltage (<48V).
Self-locking (no power required to hold desired position of the actuator).
This leads to greatly reduced energy consumption and heat dissipation.
Noiseless operation due to ultrasonic motor.
Capable of slow and constant scanning speeds.
No magnetic field generation.
Back-drivable (actuator can be manually overriden without affecting lifetime).
Direct-drive linear stages
Our direct-drive linear stages are represented in our Precision Linear Stages product line.
These direct-drive stages are typically used in settings where the highest levels of precision and reliability are required. They can be easily combined with our other linear stages to create XY and XYZ stages, as well as our precision rotation stages for applications requiring rotary movement.
