Interesting, very good to know (these things are really amazing!). Even though the motor can stop at the 1nm level, I wonder what the repeatability is if the arm crashes to a stop instead. That is, if we are considering to use a mechanical stop as a reference.

Hi Bob and Tom,

Just doing a little googling and found FAQ about Piezo LEGS®, but I imagine it applies to the technology in general. Among other things, it says that "The motor will not be damaged if it is run to a hard stop."
