Positioning Systems, Single-axis

Linear Motor Actuator

The Linear Motor Actuator is used in positioning applications where high speed and high accuracy are required. The actuator may be used in the following industries; Semiconductor, Disk Drive, Automotive, Medical, Industrial, Optical, Test and Manufacturing.

The Linear Motor Actuators do not need commutation. The non-commuted motor construction increases reliability. The direct coupling of the motor to the load allows for fast acceleration / deceleration and high speed operation.

Each actuator is integrated with a quadrature position sensor, inner limit, outer limit and home switch.

Voice Coil Stages

The high performance compact positioning voice coil driven linear stages are used in positioning applications where high speed, high acceleration or high accuracy is required.

The motorized linear stages are fully self-contained. Each stage utilizes one or two voice coil motor(s), a linear carriage system, an optical quadrature encoder feedback device and a home switch. The standard positioning resolutions of 1 micron through 29.95 microns are available for immediate delivery. Other resolutions are available upon request.

Range of motion is from 0.50” (12.7 mm) through 5.20” (132.1 mm). Continuous (stall) forces range from 1 lb (4.5 N) through 23.0 lb (102 N). The intermittent forces at 10% duty cycle are from 3.1 lb (13.8 N) through 73 lb (323 N)

The stages may be stacked in XY, XZ and XYZ configurations.

Linear 3 Phase Brushless Motor Driven Positioning Systems

The Linear Three Phase Brushless Motor Driven Positioning System is used in positioning applications where high speed and high accuracy are required. The stage may be used in the following industries; Semiconductor, Disk Drive, Automotive, Medical, Industrial, Optical, Test and Manufacturing.

The direct coupling of the motor to the stage allows for fast acceleration / deceleration and high speed operation.
