The NPXY200 Two Axis Nanopositioning Linear Stage is a 200 um travel piezo-based linear stage providing nanometer resolution motion in XY. It is ideally suited for nanopositioning of small components such as mirrors, fibers, laser diodes, micro-optics, sensors, or cellular samples. Applications include optical delay lines, path length changes of interferometers, laser lithography, scanning microscopy, and patch-clamping, among others. NPX stages feature highly reliable, multi-layer, low-voltage piezoelectric transducer (PZT) stacks for high-duty cycle operations. A sophisticated, FEA-optimized, parallelogram solid state flexure guide system ensures perfect parallel motion. Due to the frictionless guide, NPX stages are maintenance-free, are not subject to wear and provide rapid response and fast settling performance making them suitable for use in dynamic processes such as high-frequency error compensation, tracking, fast stepping or continuous scanning. The resolution is only limited by the noise of the control electronics, but repeatability and stability are compromised due to the hysteresis and creep of the piezoelectric ceramic material. Fastening is accomplished by a number of threads and alignment pin holes at the top and bottom plates. For mounting to optical tables or other components with the same hole grid, use adapter plate NPX-BP. Like with all piezo flexure devices, excessive moment loads and side forces acting between the top plate and the housing should be avoided during fastening. These external forces could damage the stage.

NPXY200两轴纳米定位线性级是一个200 um移动压电线性级，在XY中提供纳米分辨率的运动。它是理想的纳米定位小部件，如镜子，光纤，激光二极管，微光，传感器，或细胞样品。应用领域包括光延迟线、干涉仪的路径长度变化、激光光刻、扫描显微镜、贴片夹紧等。NPX级具有高可靠性，多层，低压压电换能器(PZT)栈为高占空比操作。一个复杂的，有限元优化，平行四边形固体弯曲导向系统，确保完美的平行运动。NPX级由于无摩擦导轨，免维护，不受磨损，具有快速响应和快速沉降性能，适用于高频误差补偿、跟踪、快速步进或连续扫描等动态过程。由于压电陶瓷材料的迟滞和蠕变，其分辨率仅受控制电子噪声的限制，影响了其重复性和稳定性。紧固是通过一些螺纹和定位销孔在顶部和底部板完成的。如果要安装到光学表或具有相同孔网格的其他组件上，请使用适配器板NPX-BP。与所有压电弯曲装置一样，在紧固过程中，应避免在顶板和壳体之间施加过大的力矩载荷和侧向力。这些外力会破坏舞台。与NPC3纳米放大一起使用。
