Stages and Actuators
Stages and actuators are sub-assemblies that incorporate the drivetrain and bearing structure for use in linear and rotary applications. Having different bearing and drivetrain combinations allow the user to achieve different strokes, speeds and positionality. Drivetrain options include ball screw, leadscrew, belt and linear motor. Bearing options include profile rail, round rail, cross roller, wheel, v-guide, and planar/friction based.
Stages and Actuators
Akribis Systems
Precision stages using linear and rotary brushless motors are available. Single and dual bearing designs using cross roller, profile (LM guides), and air bearings can be assembled in single, X-Y, X-Y-Z and X-Y-Z-Theta configurations. Voice coil actuators provide short stroke and high acceleration. All stages and actuators are packaged with linear encoders. Integrated linear stages and Direct Drive Rotary stages use high resolution encoders. Stages with clean room friendly covers and bellows are available.
