Miniature Positioning Stage

Aerotech's new MPS75SL series miniature linear positioning stages are just 75 mm wide and available in four travel ranges from 25 mm to 100 mm. Aimed at applications in university labs, or R&D centres that require precision alignment, or for assembly, test and measurement in industrial production environments, the small footprint and low-profile stage design is optimised in the use of the latest generation of miniature 1 mm pitch precision ballscrews, high resolution encoders and anti-creep crossed roller bearings for ultra smooth velocity and reduced error motion. The MPS75SL is available in a choice of standard precision or with Aerotech's HALAR linear error-corrected certified precision. Standard precision is +/- 4 microns whilst HALAR calibrated accuracy is +/-1.5 microns for the 100 mm travel version, with bi-directional repeatability of +/- 0.75 microns. For motion control flexibility the MPS75SL is available with a choice of brushed DC motor or open loop stepper motor, both offering a linear positioning resolution to 0.1 microns.
