Motorized Linear Stage, 500 mm Travel, DC Motor, Rotary Encoder, M6

The M-IMS500CC Linear Stage with DC Motor uses the same industry-proven technology as the ILS Series. The stage features a robust design and high performance at low cost, making it a cost-effective solution for precision industrial and laboratory applications. Features include: recirculating ball bearing slides to provide excellent payload capabilities and long life; FEM-optimized extruded aluminum body to avoid bending effects or deflection under load. The preloaded, backlash-free ballscrew provides rapid motion with fast, step and settling times. Position is read with a 4000 pts/rev. encoder mounted directly on the screw. This stage is ideal for many precision industrial applications such as semiconductor wafer inspection, micro-electronics test and assembly, pick and place, DNA sequencing or laser machining.
