The objectives are high rigidity with very high positioning accuracy, dynamics and robustness of the system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adjustment range is approx. +\/-100\u00b5m. The short stroke enables the use of elastic diaphragms, which are free of friction effects because they do not require sliding seals and can therefore be position-controlled much more precisely. The use of digital valves to control the required position also makes the system cost-effective and robust in terms of oil purity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  Control is via proportional control and an eddy current sensor; alternatively, the pressure difference can be used for lower accuracy requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system is compact, works almost friction and noise-free and requires only 0.16 liters of oil for over 10 minutes of operation. The advantages are high precision, dynamics, low costs and easy maintenance. Applications include precise positioning tasks, force and clamping control as well as travel control.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\"
