By combining a high speed DC-motor with a piezo-driven rotary motor on a backlash-free ball screw, Feinmess Dresden has developed a linear stage with a wide speed range, positional accuracy and low settling time.
Newport Corporation has released the PS-Q Pedestal Post Cube.
Laser Support Services has released its MM-1M-F Miniature Linear Stage (2 x 0.5 x 0.5-in), which delivers high-torque, 0.099µ resolution, 5mm travel, and precision positioning.
The PILine M-674 RodDrive features a patented, ceramic, ultrasonic drive and can easily be used to replace classical drive elements like motor/leadscrew assemblies or magnetic linear drives.
Physik Instrumente has released a line of compact ceramic piezo motors and nanopositioning actuators to replace classical actuators and motion control components in precision motion control applications.
Newport has launched a family of HybrYX motion stages that use both mechanical and air bearing technologies.
PI (Physik Instrumente) has extended its PIHera family of flexure-guided piezo nanopositioning stages, now offering travel ranges to 1.8mm.
With high speed performance for both long travel and nanometre to micron range incremental moves, Nanomotion's motorised Z-Axis Auto Focus Stage provides a vertical positioning and focusing solution for automated microscope and imaging applications.
Edmund Optics (EO) has released its linear translation stages with travel track distances as long as 24-inches. The stages use rack-and-pinion positioning with accuracy of 0.01-inches.
The AG-LS25 is a new, high-precision miniature linear stage offering a wide range of advanced features at a competitive price.
