The NPA Series Piezo Translators are ideally suited for integration into custom motion devices. They provide nanometer resolution, up to 100 µm travel range and micro-second response time in a very compact housing.

NPA translators are equipped with a highly reliable, multi-layer, low-voltage, piezoelectric transducer (PZT) stack protected by a cylindrical stainless steel housing. The high internal mechanical preload simplifies handling and allows for high load, dynamic applications.
NPA series piezoeletric translators can generate large forces up to 1000 N which makes them particularly useful for machine tools, active vibration isolation or adaptive mechanics. Their small size and high resonant frequency are suitable for scanning microscopy, laser tuning and beam steering, patch clamping or micro lithography applications.
