Translation Stages with Crossed Roller Bearings

  • Travel Range to 18 mm
  • All-Stainless-Steel Construction
  • XY and XYZ Multi-Axis Translation Stage Combinations
  • High Resolution to 0.1 µm
  • Optional PiezoMike Piezo Motor for 10 nm Resolution

M-105 and M-106 are micrometer driven high resolution linear translation stages with a travel range of 18 mm and 5 mm, respectively. The carriage is spring preloaded against the micrometer tip for excellent repeatability and elimination of backlash. M-105 and M-106 precision linear stages are available in one, two or three axis configurations. Precision crossed roller bearings guarantee straightness of travel of better than 2 µm. M-106 is equipped with a differential micrometer drive providing resolution of 0.1 µm. If longer travel is required the M-126 motorized precision translation stage is available.

A higher performance multi-axis translation stage with precision closed-loop motors and closed-loop multi-axis piezo nanopositioning stage is shown below:

Versions with PiezoMike piezo motor drive provide additional 30 µm fine range for remotely controlled ultra-high resolution (e.g. scanning or tracking). More information on piezo motor actuators.j

The vertical stage in the multi-axis XYZ stage assembly supports the load through the micrometer spindle (not the preload springs) for excellent stability.
