A-123 PIglide AT3 Linear Stage with Air Bearings

Product Description Specifications Downloads Quote / Order

Product overview

The stages in the PIglide are equipped with a servo drive linear motor with preloaded air bearings and integrated linear encoder. The combination of these noncontact components results in a frictionless motion platform that offers the highest performance, quality, and lifetime.

A high-force linear motor can drive the stage to top speed within a few milliseconds, and the high-capacity bearings can support payloads up to 60 kg. The laterally opposed, actively preloaded air bearing design in this model allows mounting in any orientation.

Accessories and options

Encoder
PIglide Filter and Air Preparation Kits
Single and multi-axis motion controller
Pneumatic lock/unlock option
XY setups and individual configurations
Cable track variations
Options with counterweight for vertical (Z) orientation
Customizations available
Base plates made of granite and systems for reducing vibration

Application fields

PIglide positioning systems are ideally suited for many high-precision applications such as metrology, photonics, and precision scanning in semiconductor or flat panel display manufacturing.

Thanks to the friction-free motion, no particles are formed, which makes PIglide stages ideal for cleanroom applications.
