Linear Actuators for Micropositioning and Precision Alignment - Now Available with Fast Delivery
High Precision Actuators with more Options – New from PI AUBURN, Mass., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For tasks requiring sub-micrometer precision — such as alignment, adjustment, or fine positioning — PI's M-235, L-220, and M-230 series linear actuators deliver reliable, high-performance motion. These compact actuators are ideal for demanding applications in optics, photonics, semiconductor testing, metrology, and microscopy, with select models available on short lead times for rapid integration. PI's motorized high-resolution actuators combine precision and force in a compact form factor. With travel ranges from 10 to 77mm 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 and stepper motors, these actuators reach speeds up to 30mm/sec and achieve minimum incremental motion (smallest repeatable step size) down to 0.05 µm. Self-locking versions provide high holding forces to ensure position stability without continuous power. Engineered for continuous operation, the actuators offer a mean time between failures (MTBF) of up to 20,000 hours and withstand frequent load changes. Vacuum-compatible versions are available for cleanroom and high-vacuum environments. Applications In use worldwide — from semiconductor fabs to optical labs — M-230, M-235, and L-220 actuators serve as precise external drive elements for linear, tilt, or rotational motion. Their fast availability helps users adapt quickly to changing demands and maintain a competitive edge.

PI Expands U.S. Manufacturing of Motion Control Solutions to Address Trade Challenges and Strengthen Customer Support
New U.S. Production Facility Scheduled to Open in Fall 2025, Creating High-Tech Jobs in Greater Boston Area SHREWSBURY, Mass., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning systems, is pleased to announce progress in the construction of its new production facility in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. This strategic expansion underscores PI's commitment to mitigating import tariffs and aligning production and support services closer to its U.S. customer base. The forthcoming 140,000-square-foot facility will triple the combined space of PI's current New England locations in Auburn, MA, Hopkinton, MA, and Nashua, NH. Scheduled to commence operations in Fall 2025 — just 1.5 years after groundbreaking in early 2024 — the Shrewsbury plant will manufacture precision motion and automation systems, air bearings, piezoelectric transducers, and nanopositioning components. This initiative aims to enhance PI's responsiveness to market demands and reduce lead times for American clients. PI's new Massachusetts engineering and manufacturing facility is also set to create high-quality engineering and technology jobs, bolstering the region's advanced manufacturing sector. This expansion will attract top talent and stimulate economic growth in the greater Boston, MA area. By localizing production, PI aims to insulate its operations from the volatility of international trade policies and import tariffs, ensuring stable pricing and supply for its customers. This move also aligns with broader industry trends where companies are seeking to mitigate tariff impacts by reshoring manufacturing operations. The Shrewsbury facility represents a significant investment in PI's global growth strategy, emphasizing the importance of the North American market. Beyond manufacturing, the site will serve as a hub for innovation, fostering the development of cutting-edge technologies and products tailored to the evolving needs of industries such as photonics, semiconductors, aerospace, and life sciences.
