+The chosen model was the APA300ML from Cedrat Technologies (shown in Fig.\nbsp{}ref:fig:nano_heaxpod_strut_picture).
 It is composed of three piezoelectric stacks, a lever mechanism increasing the stroke up to $\approx \SI{300}{\um}$ and decreasing the axial stiffness down to $\approx \SI{1.8}{\um}$.
 One of the three stacks can be used as a force sensor, at the price of loosing $1/3$ of the stroke.
 This has the benefits providing good "collocation" between the sensor stack and the actuator stacks, meaning that the active damping controller will easily be made robust cite:souleille18_concep_activ_mount_space_applic.
