Features

Double-Row Ball Bearings for Smooth Travel & Heavier Loads

Ball bearing slides provide smoother translation from a rolling motion. Ball bearings are captured in guide ways by means of hardened steel rods with a gothic profile. This creates only two points of contact for minimal friction, and provides extremely smooth travel for even the smallest of incremental movements. Fewer points of contact also mean less differential slip and provide higher load capacities compared to the 4-point contact of other ball-bearing designs. The lower differential slip keeps friction and wear minimal, adding to the durability and lifetime of these stages.
The type of bearing way, ball diameter, and number of balls affect the load capacity of a stage.

2-Axis Assembly

UMR Series stages can be easily stacked together to provide 2 axes of translation for a low profile XY system or as a foundation for more complex multi-axis systems. This video demonstrates how to assemble a 2-axis translation system with 2x UMR8.25 stages.

Compatible Actuators

UMR Vacuum stages can achieve 1 µm sensitivity when used with Vacuum BMV6 series differential micrometers. Refer to the specification tables above to see compatible and required adapters for each UMR Vacuum stage.

Designed for Vacuum Applications

Our low outgassing Vacuum compatible linear stages are designed for demanding vacuum environments. Several key steps are taken in the design, assembly and packaging of these parts. Following machining, each component is chemically cleaned in an ultrasonic bath to remove contaminating substances. These stages are double bagged in a cleanroom to ensure contaimation free for vacuum use.
