High Precision Micro-Positioning Actuators Available for Fast Delivery
Designed for optical alignment, precision automation, and research applications
For applications requiring sub-micrometer precision, PI's L-220 series linear actuators provide reliable, high-precision motion in a compact design. Engineered for demanding tasks in optics, photonics, semiconductor testing, metrology, and microscopy, select models are available with short lead times to support fast system integration.
PI's motorized high-resolution actuators combine precision and force in a compact form factor. With travel ranges from 13 to 77mm (½" to 3") and feed forces up to 125N, they support a broad range of applications. Their low backlash and non-rotating, linearly guided tips minimize tilt and eccentricity-caused errors, as common with low-cost, rotating-tip type actuators — ensuring accurate, repeatable motion.
Available with closed-loop DC servo or stepper motors, L-220 actuators achieve speeds up to 3.5mm/s and minimum incremental motion down to 0.1µm. The actuators are self-locking and provide high holding forces for position stability without continuous power.
Vacuum Rated Variants
The L-220 linear actuator is also available for vacuum environments up to 10-6 hPa and for cleanroom applications.
Applications
Used worldwide—from semiconductor fabs to optical labs—L-220 micro-positioning actuators provide precision motion, repeatable 100nm steps and high reliability. With fast availability, they enable design engineers to respond quickly to new project requirements and maintain a competitive edge.

Featured Product
US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder
The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 comes with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
