Physik Instrumente: PI Launches Ultra-Compact, High-Speed V-141 Linear Motor Stage for Precision Positioning, Scanning, and Alignment Applications

Compact linear translation stage family combines speed, precision, versatility, new from PI. AUBURN, Mass. , April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control, nanopositioning and piezo technology solutions, announces the release of the V-141 linear motor stage family , the most compact and cost-effective addition to its growing lineup of high-performance direct-drive linear stages. Engineered by PI USA's development team and manufactured in Hopkinton, MA , the V-141 direct-drive stage offers advanced capabilities for space-constrained, high-speed, and high-precision applications. The V-141 linear motor stage is currently available in three travel ranges - 40mm, 60mm, and 100mm - and features impressive performance specs, including: Bidirectional repeatability of 0.12µm Straightness to 2µm Maximum velocity of 1.1m /sec With a footprint of just 80x80mm for the 40mm version, the V-141 is ideal for compact integration in OEM systems, lab automation, microscopy, semiconductor, and photonics applications where space is limited but precision cannot be compromised. Engineered with direct-drive linear motor technology, the V-141 eliminates the need for mechanical transmissions such as gears and screw drives, reducing maintenance and enabling smooth, wear-free motion with zero backlash. "Performance, precision, cost effectiveness and compactness were the driving factors behind the V-141 stage design," said Matt Reck , president at PI USA . "It's a scalable platform that meets the growing demands of industrial and scientific users looking for reliable, high-precision linear motion in tight spaces." XY and XYZ configurations, Counterbalance for Vertical Use Additionally, the V-141 supports XY and XYZ configurations, with an optional integrated counterbalance on the Z-axis, making it a versatile solution for complex multi-axis motion systems. Motion Controllers enable Very High Dynamics Operated with PI's EtherCat-based motion controllers, featuring advanced algorithms to enhance dynamics while reducing heat generation, the stages combine very smooth motion with rapid acceleration, high velocity and fast step & settle.
