The Burleigh PZ-300M is a three-channel low-current amplifier designed for driving Burleigh’s low-voltage piezoelectric actuators at DC and low drive frequencies. This instrument is part of a system that enables precision linear actuation for applications demanding high resolution and stability. The PZ-300M features a high-resolution color display and provides manual control of output voltages via front panel bias controls, with the option for remote control through an analog input signal. It is compatible with Burleigh’s PZ-150, PZ-300, and PZ-350 low-voltage amplifier/drivers and utilizes LEMO connectors for actuator interface. The unit is equipped with GPIB and LAN interfaces for remote operation and control.
