Primary Mounting Feature: Ø3/8" (Ø9.525 mm) Barrel

Required Controller(h): KIM001 or KIM101

(a) See the Specs in manual.

(b) This value can vary by up to 20% and is not normally repeatable due to component variance, change of direction, and application conditions.

(c) Adjustable Up to 30% in Both Directions Using the Controller

(d) This can be adjusted using the KIM101 Controller.

(e) Using the KIM001 or KIM101 Inertia Piezo Controllers

(f) The axial force applied to the drive tip to achieve the specified step size. A minimum of 5 N is recommended to enhance stepping behavior.

(g) A higher maximum load is possible but it may decrease the typical step size.

(h) Controllers are sold separately. These actuators can also be controlled using the legacy TIM101 T-Cube controller.
