This is more of a general question about the size and resolution of
stepper motors and linear actuators. Basically, I was wondering if
anyone has any experience with very small high resolution actuators. I
am trying to find out if stepper motors on the order of 10 mm in diameter
with angular resolutions of milliradians exist. No gear trains would be
perferable as any backlash is a big problem. What is the smallest
angular resolution that people have seen? I am also looking for very
tiny linear actuators with about 5cm of travel and micron level
positioning. Cost is not really a factor. Thanks very much for your help.

| (...) I have no direct experience, but I asked around about small, precise linear actuators. Oriel, Aerotech and Newport are among the companies that have catalogs full of such items. I don't have contact info, but I'm sure a search of the internet (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
