Product description

High-power 4-axis motion controller with closed-loop servo, supporting voice coil and brushless motors.

The Physik Instrumente (PI) A824C2017 motion controller is engineered for high-precision multiaxis motion control in advanced laboratory and industrial applications, including biotechnology and molecular diagnostics where exact positioning is critical. It provides:

  • 4 high-performance motion axes with continuous 10 A and peak 20 A current output per axis
  • Integrated closed-loop servo control and amplifier modules, supporting voice coil, DC, and brushless 3-phase motors
  • Quiet PWM drives, with optional NanoPWM high-precision drive enhancement for improved control accuracy
  • Compatibility with multiple encoder types: incremental, absolute, analog sine/cosine, RS-422, BiSS-C, EnDat 2.1/2.2 for precise feedback essential in bioprocessing and synthetic biology workflows
  • TCP/IP interface for seamless integration into automated laboratory setups including biomanufacturing motion systems and biomedical engineering instrumentation
  • Voltage compatibility: 200-240 V, 50/60 Hz power supply

This motion controller excels in applications requiring discrete multi-axis positioning like gene editing platforms, molecular cloning automation, and live-cell imaging setups where precise motion control is fundamental. Its robust design supports high-throughput biotechnology instrumentation and contributes to reproducible experiments essential in research and clinical diagnostics.

With a weight of approximately 16.87 kg and compact form factor, it suits integration into benchtop equipment and industrial automation devices used extensively in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and related fields requiring reliable, high-precision motion control.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
