    Some years ago I've built some XYZ-stages with piezoleg linear motors -- the footprint was 50x50mm, 70mm height ... the attached image shows one of the first prototypes (the "Positionierer") between the cameras ...

    No torque, no clamping, small working area. Nice mill for wax and plastic prototype blocks.
