100mm Motorized Linear Stage, 3nm resolution, speed 300mm/s

Motorized linear stage from Aerotech. A high performance stage from the ABL1000 series, the ABL1000-100 utilizes inherently frictionless air bearings in a miniature configuration to produce an industry-leading precision control and positioning system in a compact package. The fully preloaded stage has a linear travel range of 100 nm and is capable of both small accurate steps or constant smooth velocity motion with a max travel speed of 300 mm/s. The drive system consists of a linear brushless servomotor and the stage has a resolution of 0.5 nm (with the E2 encoder) . The stage can handle a maximum load of 15 kg and has a device weight of 6.4 kg. The moving mass of the stage is 1.9 kg. The magnetic field and motor coil layout for the system results in a high force output with a maximum linear acceleration of 10 m/s2 with no load. The engineered design also includes a perturbation-free cable management system for longevity and system integration. The hard coated, aluminum bodied, assembly operates at 80 psi +/- 5 psi and has an air consumption of 17.5 SLPM. The accuracy of the stage is +/- 2 um with a repeatability of +/- 50 nm. This stage can come in a number of variations with multiple options for feedback and control systems to meet your specific needs. The ABL1000 series is available in a wide body variant and both have travel options from 25 nm to 100 nm.
