Linear positioning stage GTS series

linear motor-drivensingle-axiscrossed roller

GTS high torque DC motor linear translation stages combine the straightness and flatness of crossed-roller bearing stages with the improved accuracy and repeatability of higher-end stages. They can provide high-performance solutions for applications such as surface scanning, test and calibration, optical component alignment and attachment and optical delay lines. Anti-creep crossed roller bearings for outstanding straightness and flatness Integrated encoder ensures highly repeatable and accurate motion Low friction ball screw drive minimizes stick and slip effects Long-term strength and stability Plug and Play - ESP compatible Features Precision Encoder Feedback Using an optical scale with exceptional 50-nm resolution that is mounted in the center of the stage, drive-train induced errors are mitigated. The fixed read-head design reduces the hassle of internal moving cables. Long-Term Strength and Stability GTS stages are machined from stress-relieved 7075 aluminum for long-term strength and stability. All critical stage surfaces undergo multiple machining processes and precision grinding under strict temperature and quality control. The advanced asymmetric body design with defined flexible preload provides consistent results over varying temperatures and is most insensitive to non-ideal mounting surfaces. The extra thin and compliant T-shape carriage has been optimized for different load conditions including XY configurations and for providing a high vertical load capacity. Anti-Creep Crossed Roller Bearings To ensure the most accurate trajectory control, GTS stages feature matched pairs of best-in-class anti-creep crossed roller bearings.
