The Parallel Pre-stressed Actuator PPA10M is designed according to space rules and especially to avoid
stick – slip behaviour. A high level of pre-stress allows for robustness. A typical application is laser cavity
tuning in LIDAR and other opto-electronic functions.
PPA10M - Pre-stressed actuator.
