Motorized Goniometer, ±45° Travel Range, Micro-step Drive, BGS80

BG goniometers are designed so that two adjacent-sized models can be directly mounted orthogonally to each other (for example, BGS80 with BGM120) to pivot about the same point in space. The direct mounting capability saves set-up time, design time, and adapter plate costs. For additional rotation axes, a rotation stage can be mounted under the assembly or on the top BG platform. The video demonstrates an open access, multi-axis tip, tilt and rotation assembly with two BG goniometers and two rotation stages.

The BG series stages provide up to ±45° of transverse axis rotation enforced with mechanical limit switches. The stage is designed for maximum free access to the rotating platform, allowing for simplified stacking and mounting.

Precise rotation is ensured by a precision ground, hardened worm gear drive. In addition to being non-backdrivable, the worm gear drive's advantages include higher MIM, repeatability, and overall accuracy.

Single-row ball bearings and precision-ground, hardened tool-steel races ensure smooth rotation with minimal wobble and eccentricity. This allows for higher load capacities, stiffness, and stability.

The PP and BPP mini-step drive versions are for applications that require higher speeds. For higher torque and vacuum applications, the PE and BPE full-step drive versions are recommended.
