Extruded Positioning Stage

Extruded Positioning Stage The Extruded Positioning Stage is ideally suited for long stroke high acceleration closed loop servo applications. The extruded positioning stage is a cost-effective solution for those applications requiring less stringent positioning requirements. It features lightweight moving parts for high acceleration of light loads. The brushless linear motor provides smooth, highly reliable non-contact operation with no backlash or component wear. Dynamic performance with low settling times is provided by the brushless motor stiffness. Its essentially square shape and integral cable carrier allows mounting multiple stages close together. These stages can also be stacked to provide multi-axis positioning. Features: •Linear brushless iron core motor with peak force ratings to 1065N [240 pounds] •Speeds to 2 m/sec (78 in/sec) with standard 5 micron encoder resolution •Strokes to 3 m (120 inches) standard, longer travels available as custom •5 micron linear magnetic encoder scale standard with other resolutions available as custom •Single-axis stage – Modular aluminum construction with integral brushless linear motor, linear encoder, limit switches, cable carrier, linear bearings and bellows •Turnkey operation •Internal linear motor cable carrier •High stiffness linear recirculating ball bearings with low friction seals •Use with Trapezoidal or sinusoidal 3-phase brushless control and single-axis motion controller to close the position loop
