Linear Motor Stages - Performance of Direct-Driven Linear Motors in Precision Positioning Applications
data of PI’s new V-551 linear motor stage. Linear motor stages, come in different sizes, and are available with absolute and incremental encoders. Left: V-551 linear motor stages Right: V-738 Linear Motor [...] moving cables, limiting the lifetime of such a device. As with the motor, also the for the absolute position encoder, the scale is moving instead of the sensor head, eliminating all moving cables from the [...] nanometer size-steps performed with a V-551.4D linear motor stage equipped with a high resolution incremental linear encoder (PIOne). 10 nanometer steps performed repeatedly by a V-551.4B linear motor stage, operated
