The unique bearing design of these Gothic Series translation stages offer the ultimate stability in temperature-fluctuating environment. Unlike the multicomponent design of standard stages, which can loose their preload properties over time, Gothic Series bearing ways are machined directly out of the stage platform.

These compact gothic-arch ball bearing stages feature side-mounted actuator clamps, minimizing the final footprint while maintaining a low profile height. Motorized axes feature our 8354 tiny picomotor actuator and provide 5 mm of travel.  Manual axes feature our 9354 smooth-bore micrometer heads and provide 6.5 mm of travel. 

Our Open-Loop Picomotor controllers and drivers are modular. You can daisy-chain up to 31 drivers together with four channels each, so you can have a network of up to 124 standard Picomotor actuators. You have two interface options with the controller system: hand pad or computer, both providing plug-and-play use. Alternatively, you may choose to use our TTL/Analog Picomotor driver.
