Our XLA is also commonly referred to as a miniature linear actuator or a linear piezo actuator.
Our Crossfixx™ ultrasonic motor uses vibration to move a ceramic tip in an elliptical pattern at a very high frequency (80 kHz - 180 kHz). Spring-loaded against a ceramic strip on the actuator rod, it generates very small but rapid movements, resulting in high-speed motion and silent operation with a long lifetime.
This gives you the best of both worlds:
1) The lifetime and speed of an electromagnetic motor.
2) The precision and compactness of a piezo motor.
Xeryon’s micro linear actuators offer a unique combination of high speed, precision, long stroke, and durability in an ultra-compact design, overcoming the limitations of traditional linear actuators where trade-offs have to be made (e.g. stroke length in voice coils, speed in screw-driven actuators & size and holding force in linear motors).
Xeryon’s actuators are gearless, self-locking, energy-efficient and operate at low voltages. They don’t produce a magnetic field, are back-drivable, and free from drift or play.

Xeryon’s ultrasonic piezo actuators are much faster, have a much larger stroke, a much (much!) longer lifetime, operate noiselessly, consume less power, and operate at a much lower voltage at the piezo element.

In other words, they offer the precision and size of traditional piezo actuators, without their typical drawbacks.
Traditional stick-slip piezo actuators operate at much lower frequencies, typically within the frequency range of small mechanical components. Apart from being in the human audible spectrum, this introduces the risk of the piezo motor making the entire system vibrate, rather than only the motor itself.
Xeryon's ultrasonic piezo actuators operate at much higher frequencies (80 - 180 kHz), ensuring silent operation and no unwanted vibrations.

Our micro linear actuators are defined by their small design, which makes them ideal for projects with limited spacing. They are quite popular thanks to their versatility and the range of applications they are suited to. Our micro actuators are known for their precision control options and force capabilities which, while impressive compared to their size, are perfect for those who require it minimally. Popular applications of micro linear actuators include the robotics and automotive industry, where these actuators can be seamlessly integrated into their interior and exterior systems. Most of our products are extremely easy to install and maintain as plug-and-play solutions, with our PA-07 micro linear actuators being no exception. For communicating with our PA-12 micro linear actuators, we offer RS-485 and TTL/PWM communication options to ensure high precision through feedback.
Our micro linear actuators are seen in a variety of robotic systems. These range from manufacturing systems, where a micro actuator is a core component of a larger mechanism, to assisting in medical fields. Micro linear actuators in robots is a growing, exciting industry that is only going to get more and more advanced.
Micro precision servo actuators have many different use cases in medical industries as they offer reliable accuracy and repeatability, whether it be for adjusting fluid flow in dispensers, driving surgical robots, or positioning medical equipment. Their high performance combined with low maintenance requirements is some of the key reasons micro actuators are popular in the medical industry.
A micro electric linear actuator can be installed into multiple areas of your home and office to optimize and automate them where possible. Cabinets and shelving are popular applications that can be automated, letting the shelf come to you instead of reaching or moving racks in a cabinet for space optimization.
