 Precision Motion and Positioning: Difference between Micropositioning and Nanopositioning by Physik Instrumente

Manufacturer tutorial, Glossary: Design Resolution is theoretical from screw/gearing/motor increments; Minimum Incremental Motion is repeatedly executable movement. Backlash, elastic drivetrain effects and friction distinguish commanded and load motion. Used for terminology and physical mechanism only; original chosen drive and repeated-move data are not product measurements or recommendations.
