Line of Linear Positioning Stages Offers Easy Decision Making

Ten high precision, low cost linear positioning stages that can be easily integrated into new and existing applications are available and choosing the best slide for the application is easy.  The five AQ120 and five AQ130 series of linear motorized stages are available in travel distances of 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm.

The compact, AQ120 series of linear stages features high precision steel linear ball bearings and hardened steel shafting and are designed for loads of 15 kg for the AQ120-50 to 5 kg for the AQ120-300. 

The AQ130 series of linear stages features high precision open steel linear ball bearings and supported hardened steel shafting and is designed for loads to 30 kg for all travel lengths.

Each of these black anodized slides features a large table with a pattern of threaded mounting holes, and a precision low backlash (2µ) 4 mm per turn lead screw. The resolution for all slides is 2 microns per pulse using 10 microsteps per step motor driver, or just 1 micron per pulse using 20 microsteps per step motor driver.

These stages can easily be configured as XY stages, with a Z axis, with a rotary, lift, or goniometer stage.  All stages are also available with a servo motor and optical encoder, and are compatible with OES' line of motion controllers.  Options also include: plug-in motor driver / indexer, stepper motor with an optical encoder for position verification. Additionally all stages are available as complete plug-and-play systems.
