Relation between linear displacement and rotation.
M-035 and M-036 rotation stages are tangent arm rotation stages driven by linear actuators. The angular equivalent to the linear actuator's displacement can be calculated by the following equation:
a » arctan (x/ro)
where:
x = displacement of linear actuator [mm]
a = rotation angle [deg]
ro = distance of linear actuator contact point to center of rotation @ 0 degrees [mm]
r0 is 44 mm for M-035 rotation stages and 66 mm for M-036 rotation stages.
Example:
The rotation angle of an M-035 for a linear displacement x = 5 mm is:
a » arctan (5/44) » 6.48 degrees.
