XVS Ultrasonic vertical piezo stage
Discover our vertical piezo lifting stages. The lifting power of the stage depends on the length of the stage and the selected piezo motor. Xeryon offers a range of brackets that can be mounted on the stage to create a horizontal load platform. Check our auxiliaries page to know more or ask your Xeryon contact or have a look at our custom projects page to learn more about custom sample holders and brackets that Xeryon offers.

Compact & precise linear stage
The Xeryon Vertical Stage (XVS) is a precise vertical stage driven by an ultrasonic piezo motor. This allows fast positioning with micrometer precision. The self-locking piezo motor holds the position of the stage when it is not powered. As a result, heat dissipation is considerably reduced. The integrated encoder has a resolution of 1.25 µm, 312 nm, 78 nm, 5nm or 1nm.

Mass compensation
The Xeryon Vertical Stage can be equiped with a mass compensation spring. The spring compensates a large portion of the weight of the payload, still alowing the piezo-motor to move the stage up and down. What's the catch? The load can't vary too much. For example: if you have a load of 300 grams, it shouldn't vary more than 40g in order to lift it with our 1N motor!
Using a mass compensation spring is an elegant way to lift a heavy load with a small lifting stage. You keep the compactness of a piezo-stage, but you get the lifting power of convention drive technology.
Xeryon uses tension springs and magnetic counterweights in its mass compensation designs. Contact us to know more about this clever solution.
