Maximizing the Lifetime of your Picomotor™ Actuators

Download Whitepaper
In order to achieve consistent performance and maximize the lifetime of your Picomotor™ actuators, keep the following precautions in mind: Do not remove the knob or the screw from the housing. The knob is an integral piece of the Picomotor actuator, and its inertia plays an important part in the stick-slip motion of the Picomotor actuator. If the motor stalls, carefully turn the actuator using the knob. Stalling may occur as the Picomotor actuator ages. By turning the knob and working the screw across the “offending” thread region, the Picomotor actuator can “self heal.”
