The unit is fabricated from high grade anodised aluminium and stainless steel and features a high torque DC servo motor, belt drive and precision ball screw.
The linear stage is guided via four miniature recirculating ball trucks. Stage over-travel limits are sensed by non-contact proximity sensors.
All precision components are enclosed within a lightweight, internally sealed enclosure.
Optional features include an encoder for use as a CNC controlled z-axis.
Motorised z-axis units are available in 25mm (1.0″), 38mm (1.5″) and 50mm (2.0″) clear apertures, with linear strokes of 25mm (1.0″), 50mm (2.0″) and 100mm (4.0″).
