Profile: Piezosystem Jena, Inc. specializes in the development, design and engineering of piezo, piezo electrical actuator based positioning systems for micro and nano positioning and nano-automation. We are an ISO 9001 certified company. We offer optical fiber switches and corresponding electronics. Our piezo actuators and positioning stages are unique in the fact that they are precise in the range of nanometer. They generate forces of several thousand Newton and realize precise positioning in micro seconds. We develop and manufacture products in the field of actuating elements. Our stack type actuators are based on multilayer ceramics. These actuators can move masses in the kNs. The resolution is limited by the signal noise. It is used successfully in applications in the fields of nano-positioning, metrology, rapid valve actuation, mirror moving & tilting, fiber stretching, generating oscillations, & vibration damping. Our piezoelectric actuator is mounted in a unique lever transmission design of flexure hinges. The small motion of the actuator, caused by an analog control signal, is transferred to a special point.
