VM series precision actuators offer backlash-free motion with high load capacity and up to 25 mm travel range. They feature a M12 mounting interface and are the recommended choice to motorize our UMR8, MVN80 linear stages, or SL series optical mounts (see
Precision Double-Row Ball Bearing Linear Stages,
Precision Ball Bearing Vertical Linear Stages, and
Gimbal Optical Mounts).
Precision motion is accomplished by a miniature DC servo or stepper motor with rotary encoder providing 50 nm position feedback. A sophisticated, preloaded belt drive system converts the rotation of the motor shaft into linear travel while avoiding any backlash inside the system. This provides very responsive motion ideal for alignment purposes. An exceptionally high load capacity of 120 N is achieved by a low friction design and precision guidance of the actuator's rotating tip.
VM actuators are offered in three different travel ranges allowing an exact match with the travel of your manual component. To protect your investment, fixed limit switches are included, which are also used as a reference home position.
