XLA-1 Open-loop series
Fast and compact linear actuator
The XLA open-loop micro linear actuators are world class in terms of weight and size. The actuator is driven by the Crossfixx™ ultrasonic piezo motor, allowing an extremely compact design, speeds of 200 mm/s and a total weight of less than 6 gram. Even better, the XLA-1 Open-loop has a built-in controller and is equiped with integrated (and adjustable)
limit switches. Two cable positions are possible (top or side). A wide range of rod lengths is available, allowing stroke lengths from 5 mm to 185 mm! The XLA-1 Open-loop can also be delivered without the top cover, saving an extra 0.5 mm.

Controller/software
In open-loop configuration, the XLA-1 series actuators come with an integrated controller. This controller allows the user to:
· set the travel speed (analog input)
· adjust the travel direction (digital input)
· read the limit switches state (digital output)
· operate in pulsed mode to move in small steps (as small as 50 nm)
· set advanced parameters
