With its new structural shape the HPS-170 is especially developed to meet high positioning demands. Due to its precise and smooth operation this linear stage is perfectly suited for measuring and inspection equipment. All important parts are made of a special, tempered Al-alloy which guarantees a longtime stability. The Precision Stage HPS-170 is available with a DC,- or 2-phase-micro step (SMC-series) motor. Two limit switches are firmly integrated in the precision stage. Optionally the precision stages can be equipped with a linear encoder which guarantees a resolution of 0.1 µm. Optical and inductive limit switches as well as test and calibration certificates can be supplied on request.
