M-231
High-Resolution Closed-LoopDC-Mike Actuators
  • 17 mm Travel Range
  • 0.1 µm Minimum Incremental Motion
  • Velocity up to 2.5 mm/sec.
  • Closed-Loop DC Motor
  • Compatible with Leading Industrial Motion Controllers
  • Integrated Hall-Effect Origin and Limit Switches

The M-231 is an ultra-high-resolution linear actuator providing linear motion up to 17 mm with sub-micron resolution in a compact package. It consists of a leadscrew which is driven by a closed-loop DC motor/ gearhead combination with motor-shaft-mounted, high-resolution encoder (2048 counts/ rev.).

Upgrade for Manual Aligners
The M-231 was especially designed to fit existing manual translation stages (e.g. M-105, see link) and F-110 piezoelectric fiber alignment systems (see link in the "Photonics" section) as a direct replacement for a manual micrometer.

M-231 actuators provide a cost-effective solution in industrial and OEM environments. They feature a low-stiction low-friction construction allowing for minimum incremental motion of 100 nanometers at speeds up to 2.5 mm/sec.

Non-Contact Limit and Origin Switches
Integrated, non-contact, high-precision Hall-effect origin and limit switches protect your equipment and increase versatility in automation applications.

Integrated Line Drivers
Each actuator includes an integral 0.5 m cable with 15-pin sub-D connector and a 3 m extension cable. The connectorfeatures integrated line drivers for cable lengths up to 10 meters between actuator and controller.

Stepper-motor-driven versions of the M-231 are available on request.

For higher loads and travel ranges, refer to the M-230 and M-235 see link and see link.
