2.1 Intended Use
The N-470 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use and
use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
The N-470 is a linear actuator for integration into mechanical and optomechanical components.
For integration, the mechanics, in which the N-470 is to be installed, must have suitable
mountings.
A piezoelectric motor is installed in the N-470 linear actuator that acts on the fine-threaded
screw and moves it.
The drive is self-locking at rest, requires no current, and does not generate any heat. It holds
the position with maximum force.
The N-470 is not intended for continuous operation. For further information on the operating
conditions of the N-470, see "Technical Data" (p. 35).
It is only possible to use the N-470 as intended in conjunction with suitable electronics (p. 14)
that provide the required operating voltages. The electronics are not in the scope of delivery of
the N-470.
2.2 General Safety Instructions
The N-470 is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards.
Improper use can result in personal injury and/or damage to the N-470.
 Use the N-470 for its intended purpose only, and only when it is in perfect technical
