Precision Linear Stages and Scanners for Single-Axis Positioning A linear stage or a linear translation stage is a positioning device used to achieve high precision along one single axis of motion. Composed by a base and a moving platform on top, it is propelled by one of several different technologies/drive options. To position a motorized linear stage, a motion controller is used while manual linear translation stages are controlled using a micrometer head or adjustment screw. Various bearing systems are used for guidance and limiting crosstalk. Each stage and technology has differentiated features depending on your need of velocity, accuracy or load.Get more news about https://www.yscrobot.com/ linear motion stage manufacturers,you can vist our website! To achieve motion and positioning in several axes visit our other stages or combine several linear stages. The choice of drive and sensor technology is irrelevant as the controller software is uniform for any combination. A stepper motor divides a full revolution into a number of full steps with equal distance between them. As each step size is known, the stepper motor can operate in open-loop mode without any position sensors. A DC motor rotates constantly as an operating voltage is applied and the velocity is directly proportional to the input voltage. A linear translation stage utilizes bearing systems for guidance and encoders for position determination, there are various technologies to accommodate both and we offer a wide selection.
