Motorized Goniometer, ±45 ° Travel, Full-step, Vacuum, M6, BGM160

The M-BGM160PEBV6 Metric Goniometer (non-vacuum versions pictured above) features a worm mounted rotary encoder for improved accuracy and repeatability. The encoder also provides a method for detecting motor stalling, an important feature for applications with high loads or torques. The PE full-step version with a reduction gear provides a higher torque and is recommended for high inertia payloads and vacuum applications. BG Series goniometric cradles rotate on a transverse axis above the platform. Compared to full 360° rotation stages, they offer maximum free access to the rotating part and allow construction of very compact multi-axis rotation assemblies. BG cradles are designed so that orthogonal mounting of two adjacent-size cradles (e.g., BGS50 and BGS80) provides two perpendicular rotational axes intersecting at about the same point in space. Mounting a rotation stage under the assembly adds a third orthogonal rotation axis through the same point. Precision rotation is ensured by a precision ground, hardened worm gear drive. Single row ball bearings and precision ground tool-steel races ensure smooth rotation with minimal wobble and eccentricity. A home switch, conveniently located at the center of travel, facilitates the return of the platform to a level position.
Due to the various feed-through configurations and preferences of customers, the cable supplied with the stage is not vacuum compatible. Can be ordered with a vacuum compatible 25pin SubD connector.
