2.5. Cable Bend Radius
The minimum static bend radius for a QNP3 main cable is 4 mm. Aerotech recommends that the cable not
be used dynamically because it may affect linearity performance. If the piezo cable needs to pass through a
dynamic cable chain, Aerotech recommends that the piezo stage cable be terminated before the cable chain
and connected to an extension cable that routes through the cable chain. If this is not possible, contact an
Aerotech representative to discuss your options.
