MTN Series High Load Capacity Stepper Motor Linear Translation Stages
MTN Series High Load Capacity Stepper Motor Linear Translation Stages
MTN linear stages are durable, all-steel construction positioners with exceptional load capacity, stiffness and thermal stability. They are designed for applications that require moving heavy loads with sub-micron precision over 100-, 200- or 300-mm travel ranges. Stepper motors are a lower cost alternative to DC servo systems for less demanding applications. These stages feature micro-stepping to improve resolution and smoothness of motion. Run open-loop, position is attained by the number of commanded steps and micro-steps.
- 100 kg load capacity and high axial load capacity up to 200 N
- All steel construction offers high stiffness and thermal stability
- Backlash-compensated, diamond-corrected leadscrew for accurate motion
- Plug and Play - ESP compatible
- Lower cost alternative to DC servo systems See All Features

Features
All Steel Stage Body
Economical Micro-stepping Stepper Motor
For less demanding applications, a stepper motor can be a more economical solution than a DC motor. A stepper motor operates using the basic principle of magnetic attraction and repulsion, converting digital pulses into mechanical shaft rotation. To improve the resolution and smoothness of motion, the MTN-PP and MTN-PPV6 feature micro-stepping, a method of electronically dividing a full-step of motion into a high number of partial steps.
Vacuum Compatible Versions
The MTN-PPV6 are the vacuum compatible versions of the MTN stepper motor stage. They can be used in a vacuum environment down to 10-6 Torr. Their performance is the same as their corresponding MTN-PP stepper motor stage, except that the maximum speed is 20 mm/sec and centered load capacity is 100 N.
Diamond-Corrected Lead Screw and Precision-Lapped Nut
Recirculating ball bearings ensure better dynamics and lifetime, as well as equal axial load capacity in both directions.
Non-migrating Ball Cage Design
The non-migrating ball cage design eliminates cage drift, particularly in vertical applications, to enhance reliability.

MTN Motor Options
MTN Series stages are available with Stepper, DC, or Brushless DC motors.
- Stepper Motor (MTN-PP): Stepper Motors are a lower cost alternative to DC motor systems for less demanding applications. Micro-stepping is used to improve resolution and smoothness of motion.
- DC Motor (MTN-CC): DC Motors are best characterized by their high speeds, smooth motion, good efficiency and a high power/weight ratio. They are preferable to stepper motor stages for applications requiring high dynamic speed and tight repeatability.
- Brushless DC Motor (MTN-BLHS): Brushless DC Motors offer faster speed and finer repeatability than standard DC motors. They are designed for applications that require moving heavy loads with high speed and repeatability
