Description

The Scanner16-z is a highly precise, ultra-compact scanner stage designed for use in cutting-edge applications requiring high-resolution movement in extreme environments. With dimensions of just 16x16x6 mm, this small scanner delivers exceptional performance in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions and extremely low temperatures, down to 30 mK. It is composed of non-magnetic materials—pure titanium (Ti) and beryllium copper (BeCu)—which make it compatible with high magnetic fields up to 18 Tesla, ensuring reliability even in demanding scientific experiments.

The Scanner16-z offers a long travel range of 30 μm at 300 K and achieves position sensing with up to 0.5 nm resolution. Designed for high load applications (up to 100g), it is an ideal solution for a range of scientific research, including low-temperature physics and vacuum-based studies. Optional versions provide compatibility with specific environments such as He3 or dilution cryogenics systems, as well as ultra-high vacuum conditions.

This product delivers consistent performance, with high repeatability (<10 nm) and low capacitance, making it an indispensable tool in research labs worldwide.
