Linear Mechanics

Teflon^TM impregnated hard covers provide protection from sparking and other debris introduced in the machining process. Side seals keep dirt and particulates out of the stage, protecting bearing surfaces and linear encoders from contamination and reducing maintenance costs. Integrated cabling enhances both the reliability and appearance of your machine. These are just some of the ways our mechanics contribute to making your system world-class.

Designed with fully-preloaded air bearings, the ABL series stages represent state-of-the-art precision positioning and control. Capable of picometer resolution, the ABLs offer outstanding velocity stability and ultra-smooth motion in a low profile, noncontacting design.

Don't see exactly what you need? Aerotech has over 30 years experience in designing successful custom electro-mechanical systems. From nanopositioning systems for the disk-drive industry to large air-bearing systems with custom control algorithms for flat-panel inspection, we have the precision motion experience to provide the optimum solution for your application.

Direct-drive linear motors provide the highest
acceleration and velocity with the lowest maintenance
and total cost-of-ownership of any competing drive
technology. Aerotech offers the widest range of direct-
drive linear positioners on the market, including the
extremely popular AGS series high-throughput gantry
systems.
