Picomotor Driver, Single-Axis, PCB-Mountable

The 8712 Picomotor™ Driver is designed to be integrated into OEM equipment by mounting directly onto your printed-circuit board. It can drive a single Picomotor axis at a time. If appropriately multiplexed it can be used switch between Picomotors that have been embedded into your system. For assistance and advise on integrating our OEM Driver please contact your local Newport representative.
It is the successor to our popular 8702 Driver is a drop in replacement with the same footprint and connectors. If you have previously been using the 8702 then the 8712 can be used in the same position. The height of the driver has been reduced and the RoHS version is now standard.
