Miniature hexapod for 6 degrees of motion freedom; BLDC motors; 3 kg payload; 6 mm/s velocity; 0.5 m cable length. Connecting cables are not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.
H-810.I2 Miniature Hexapod
High Precision in the Smallest Space
- Travel range ±20 mm / ±20 mm / ±6.5 mm
- Rotation range ±10° / ±10° / ±30°
- Minimum incremental motion 0.5 µm / 0.5 µm / 0.25 µm
- Payload 3 kg
Parallel-kinematic design for 6 degrees of freedom, making it significantly more compact and stiff than serial-kinematic systems, higher dynamics, no moved cables: Higher reliability, reduced friction.
BLDC motor
Brushless DC motors are particularly suitable for high rotational speeds. They can be controlled very accurately and ensure high precision. Because they dispense with sliding contacts, they run smoothly, are wear-free and therefore achieve a long lifetime.
PIVirtualMove
The simulation software simulates the limits of the workspace and payload of a hexapod. Therefore, even before purchasing, you can check whether a particular hexapod model can handle the loads, forces, and torques occurring in an application. For this purpose, the simulation tool takes the position and motion of the hexapod as well as the pivot point and several reference coordinate systems into account.
Application fields
Industry and research. For micromanipulation, biotechnology, tool inspection.

When measuring position specifications, typical velocity is used. The data is included in the delivery of the product in the form of a measurement report and is stored at PI.
The maximum travel ranges of the individual coordinates (X, Y, Z, θX, θY, θZ) are interdependent. The data for each axis shows its maximum travel range when all other axes are in the zero position of the nominal travel range and the default coordinate system is in use, or rather when the pivot point is set to 0,0,0.
At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.
