D E S C R I P T I O N Special characteristic of the Elevation Stage ES-100 is its very compact structural shape. The Elevation stage is driven by a precision ground recirculating ball screw with 1mm pitch. Newly developed crossed-roller bearings guarantee a maximum of rigidity and guiding quality. The motorization of the Elevation Stage ES-100 can be effected alternatively by DC-, 2-phase-micro-step (SMC-series) motor.The travel range is 10 mm or 26 mm. For demanding positioning tasks the Elevation Stages ES-100 can be retrofitted or supplied cost-effective with a length linear system. Then the operation is running in closed-loop modus. Two mechanical limit switches are integrated in the elevation stage. Additionally we offer contactless limit switches.
