Motorized Rotation Stage, Stepper, Continuous 360° Motion, URS75

The tilted worm screw arrangement allows for 4 symmetric mounting holes as compared to other designs that only feature 2 or 3 mounting holes. This enables the URS-B stages to provide better support of higher or off-centered loads. Additionally, the flexible preloading system for the worm gear was improved to guarantee a backlash free operation.

The stepper motor version is a more economical version for less demanding applications. When used with motion controllers with high micro-step capability, like the XPS or ESP30x, low noise operation and very small incremental motions are guaranteed. The stepper motor versions do not use encoder feedback, but reach a position by the number of commanded steps and microsteps. For this purpose, the stepper motor is directly attached to the worm screw using a proprietary bellows coupling that has a high torsional stiffness, eliminating the need for a gear or belt drive. The high output torque of the stepper motor minimizes the risk of lost steps and provides good linearity between commanded microsteps and the actual motion of the stage.

All URS-B rotation stages feature a proprietary ball bearing to provide a low-profile compact stage with exceptional stiffness, high reliability and low wobble and eccentricity.

Except for the URS50 version, all URS stages feature adjustable limit switches to prevent over travel.
