Product overview
Compact linear stage with low-backlash drive spindle and ball guides. Directly mountable XY combination. Integrated reference and limit switches: Hall effect.
The linear stage is available in two design variants:
- Narrow, long variant with direct fixed drive (flange motor).
- Wide, compact variant with belt drive (folded drivetrain). These variants are marked by an "F" at the end of the item number.
Drive types
- DC motor
- Stepper motor with or without gearhead
Variants with DC motor are equipped with an incremental linear encoder.
Highly accurate position measuring with incremental linear encoder
Noncontact optical linear encoders measure the position directly at the platform with the greatest accuracy. Nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on the measurement.
Application fields
Medical industry. Autofocus. Precision microassembly. Biotechnology. Automation.

At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.
