VP Series Compact Aluminum DC Motor Linear Stages
VP Series Compact Aluminum DC Motor Linear Stages
With an aluminum body in a compact package, the VP Series 25-mm travel stages deliver exceptional minimum incremental motion (MIM) and position stability. These stages also feature recirculating ball bearings, a backlash-free ball screw and a linear steel scale encoder. Applications include: fiber alignment, bio-medical, semiconductor and high precision test and measurement.
- Highly sensitive 10-nm or 100-nm minimum incremental motion
- Low-profile, compact and lightweight
- Easy to construct XY and XYZ assemblies
- Convenient manual adjustment knob
- Plug and Play – ESP compatible
- Built-in linear encoder for highly repeatable and precise motion See All Features

Features
Backlash-free Ballscrew
The VP includes a preloaded, backlash-free ball screw, which provides smooth motion and outstanding bi-directional repeatability.
XYZ Configuration
The VP stages can be easily stacked into XY configurations or XYZ configurations using the
Micro-positioning
The VP-25XL series features a linear steel scale encoder ensuring positioning with accuracy of ±1 µm is possible when commanded by the XPS advanced motion control system.
DC Motor for Smooth, High Speed Motion
DC Motors are best characterized by their high speeds, smooth motion, good efficiency and a high power/weight ratio. Precise closed-loop servo positioning and speed control on these VP stages is achieved with a built-in linear encoder and included tachometer. A manual adjustment knob also adds to the utility of these stages.
End-of-Run Limit Switches
The stage contains end-of-run limit switches on both ends to prevent damage to the stage from over-travel.
Metrology Report Included at No Additional Cost
Newport guarantees specification values which are measured and recorded following ASME B5.57 and ISO 230-2 standards. The typical performance values are two times better than the guaranteed specifications.
Error Mapping Services
For critical positioning applications, Newport offers error mapping upon request for VP-25XL stages driven by our XPS advanced motion controller. We will measure, implement, and verify the results of this error map that will individually optimize each stage's position accuracy. In addition, multi-axis error mapping is also available. Measurements are made at 20.0 ±0.2 °C. A certificate of calibration will be provided with your stage. Actual data may also be provided upon request.
