Piezo Flexure-Guided Actuators (Flextensional Actuators) provide nanometer precison, fast response and travel ranges to 1000m and more.
They are completely frictionless don't require lubricants or maintenance and have lifetimes of several billion cycles.

PI provides open-loop flextensional actuators (for applications where the absolute position is not critical) and closed-loop actuators with internal position sensors, for nanometer repeatability.
Flexure actuators are often used for microfluidics, fast (medical) pumps, microdispensing applications and as drive components in nanopositioning tables and actuators.
