Product overview
The stages of the PIglide series are equipped with a servo drive linear motor with preloaded air bearings and integrated optical linear encoder. The combination of these noncontact components results in a friction-free motion platform that offers the highest performance, quality, and lifetime.
A high-force linear motor can drive the stage to maximum velocity within a few milliseconds and the high loadcapacity allows for payloads up to 10 kg. The laterally opposed, actively preloaded air bearing design allows mounting in any orientation.
Accessories and options
- PIglide filter and air preparation kit
- Single and multi-axis motion controllers
- XY setups and individual configurations
- Drag chain variants
- Models with brake for avoiding collisions in case of a drop in air pressure
- Base plates made of granite and systems for reducing vibration
- Manual adjustment of the default value for the payload, option for automatic adjustment available
- Customizations available
Application fields
PIglide positioning systems are ideally suited for high-precision metrology, photonics, and precision scanning applications in semiconductor or flat screen manufacturing.
Thanks to the friction-free motion, no particles are formed, which makes PIglide stages ideal for use under cleanroom conditions.

Note on straightness error: 0.15 µm over 25 mm travel range
Note on straightness and angular errors: Dependent on the flatness of the surface, on which the stage is mounted.
Note on velocity and acceleration: It can be limited by payload, controller, or drive performance.
Note on the permissible push force in Z: Assumes that the payload's center of gravity is centered and no more than 50 mm above the motion platform.
Note on bidirectional repeatability and sensor resolution: Assumes a 16384x interpolation.
Note on positioning accuracy: Improved accuracy can be obtained with controller-based error compensation. The stage must be ordered with a controller from PI to achieve these values. Accuracy values assume short duration and do not consider the long-term effects of thermal drift on the stage.
Note on the operating pressure: To protect the stage against damage, it is recommended to connect an air pressure sensor to the E-Stop input of the controller.
At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.
