Steinmeyer's New Ultra Narrow Precision Linear Stage

MOTION CONTROL:  Steinmeyer Inc.’s new precision linear stage, the PA 30×40-SM01 is a single axis system ideal wherever there is a need for an extremely narrow positioning table.  Typical uses include miniature robotics, pick and place devices, specimen handling for life sciences and scientific applications where precision positioning is required within a very narrow foot print. This compact, fully enclosed stage is only 30 mm wide and 40 mm high. Available travels range from 25 mm to 150 mm. Positioning repeatability is 1 micron, maximum speed is 50 mm/s and load capacity is 100 newton. Included inside this precision assembly are a precision preloaded 8 mm diameter Steinmeyer ball screw, miniature size 9 linear guideway, non-contact limit switches and a choice of either stepper motor or dc servo motor with encoder.  A separate motion controller is available as an option.
