The smallest rotation you can make with the Picomotor™ actuator. This is the typical rotation caused by applying a single voltage pulse to the Picomotor actuator. Since the Picomotor actuator relies on friction to turn the screw (it’s a stick–slip actuator), the actual angle change per pulse varies a small amount with the direction of rotation, load, temperature, and wear of the unit. We typically observe variations of a few percent (or less) in angle change per pulse, while moving in one direction at a constant load and temperature.
