MPS50SV and MPS75SV Miniature Mechanical-Bearing Screw-Driven Lift Stage
Description
Design Features
- Compact, high-performance elevation stage
- Precision-ground ball screw or lead screw
- DC or stepper motor options
- High-vacuum capable
- Precision crossed-roller bearings
- Multi-axis configurations available with MPS linear and rotary stages
High-Accuracy Construction
All MPS-SV stages feature a precision-ground ball screw and preloaded crossed-roller bearings providing smooth and accurate geometric performance, exceptional accuracy and repeatability, and 0.05 µm minimum incremental motion capabilities. The MPS50SV is also offered with a lead-screw drive option for more cost-sensitive applications.MPS-SV motor options include a DC servomotor with rotary encoder and a stepper motor. A precision-machined wedge design and lateral constraint system provide high stiffness and load capacity while at the same time providing proper constraint of lateral motions.
Vacuum and Mounting Options
As with all MPS-series stages, the MPS-SV stages are available in an optional vacuum preparation to 10-6 Torr that includes a vacuum-rated connector. An optional mounting plate provides direct mounting to both English and metric optical breadboard tables. The inherent mounting compatibility of all MPS stages allows for simple mounting in multi-axis arrangements.Specifications
