Precision-class linear stage
The linear stage has a ground precision leadscrew that ensures smooth running. The combination of recirculating ball bearing guide and the stress-relieved aluminum base ensures good performance data.
Drive types
Noncontact optical limit switches. Noncontact optical reference switch with direction sensing in the middle of the travel range. Integrated rotary encoder on the motor shaft (variants with DC servo motor).
Recirculating ball bearing guides
When carefully assembled, recirculating ball bearing guides are distinguished by a beneficial combination of high load capacity, lifetime, maintenance-free operation, and guiding accuracy. The moving part of the stages is supported by four preloaded recirculating ball bearing units, which run on two guide rails. Each bearing unit is made up of two independent rows of circulating ball bearings.
