Positioning / Motion Control

Motors, actuators, positioners, drives and other equipment for industrial research laboratories, medical applications, vacuum and aerospace and other extreme environments.

CSA Corporate Sustaining Members:

RIX Industries

Manufacturer and developer of thermoacoustic Stirling cryocoolers with up to 1,000 watts of cooling power at 77 K. These systems have no moving parts in the coldhead, making them ideal for applications that require low vibration and no maintenance.

Other Suppliers:

attocube systems

Low temperature solutions such as nanopositioners and sensors with sub-nm accuracy. Complete measurement systems: cryogenic scanning probe microscopes (AFM, MFM, KPFM, PFM, SHPM), confocal (Raman) microscopes and automated cryogen-free magnet systems.

Dynamic Structures and Materials

Design and manufacture of precision motion control devices, primarily using piezo actuators. Experienced with design for extreme environments, such as cryogenic, high vacuum, and high heat applications, as well as systems requiring non-magnetic actuation.

Janssen Precision Engineering BV

Stiff and reliable cryogenic positioners and stages for research or industry, allowing for (sub-)nanometer positioning in UHV and high-magnetic environments. Partner in developing bespoke experimental setups or testing of applications in low temperatures.

Onnes Technologies

A Dutch quantum technology startup that develops and builds cryogenic nanopositioning tools for physics research at milli-Kelvin temperatures. Onnes’ technology offers the next step in cryo-positioning as alternative to the classic stick-slip technology.

Philtec, Inc.

Philtec designs and manufactures non-contact fiber optic displacement sensing systems for vacuum and cryogenic applications such as coil expansion of superconductors, structural deflections of MRI magnets, and speed detection of cryogenic turbo pumps.

Phytron, Inc.

Venture Mfg. Co.

High-quality linear actuators, including commercial, satellite and military actuators, as well as RV slide-out actuators, solar tracking actuators and stepper-motor actuators, plus DC gear motor, gearboxes, custom cable and harness products and more.
