Miniature Linear Actuators
XLA Series - A Breakthrough in Motion Control
For decades, linear actuators have seen little true innovation.
Traditional piezo motors offer miniature size and precision, but lack speed, travel and durability.
Electromagnetic motors, on the other hand, are often too bulky and require constant power to hold position.
Many existing technologies have reached their physical limits, blocking engineers from making the next big leap forward.
The Xeryon XLA is the answer to this problem.
A miniature linear actuator designed for the next generations of instruments.
Now available with integrated controller, for ultimate compactness.

How our micro actuators work
Recently, Youtuber 'Know Art' visited Xeryon in his search to better understand precision mechanics.
The result? A deep dive into high-precision motion, and a great breakdown of our revolutionary technology:
Testimonials
The speed and precision of Xeryon’s products enabled us to significantly improve our microscope design and disrupt the market. Most importantly, it has allowed our customers to accelerate scientific discovery. It’s rare to achieve such a technological leap.
Director of R&D
Fluorescence microscope manufacturer
Our laser systems use a large number of motorized optics. After experiencing quality and delivery issues with our main supplier, we decided to give Xeryon a try. They have proven to be a reliable supplier, and we found their piezo stages to be much more durable than the ones we used before.

Ultrafast laser source manufucturer
At first, I found it hard to believe this level of performance could come from such a compact package. Xeryon’s technology was the only solution that made it possible to build the machine our company had envisioned, enabling the next generation of automated test equipment. Their team was also incredibly helpful in answering all of our integration questions.
