Compact Z stage, versatile in use

Z stage with compact size due to folded drive with belt gears. Fits onto linear stages with M6 50 mm × 50 mm connection grid (e.g., L-406).

Drive

  • 2-phase stepper motor or closed-loop DC motor
  • Backlash-compensated ball screws

Position measuring

  • Incremental linear encoder (optional with stepper motor variants)
  • Noncontact optical reference and limit switches

Highly-accurate position measuring with incremental linear encoder

Noncontact optical linear encoders measure the position with highest accuracy directly on the platform Nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on the measurement.

Crossed roller guide

For crossed roller guides, the point contact of balls in ball guides is replaced by the line contact of hardened rollers. Consequently, they are considerably stiffer and need less preloading, which reduces friction and enables smoother running. Crossed roller guides are also characterized by high guide accuracy and load capacity. Force-guided rolling element cages prevent cage creep.
