L-310 Precision Vertical Elevation Stage with Closed Loop Motor from PI

High guiding accuracy and stiffness due to ball screws and crossed roller guides. Stress-relieved aluminum base for highest stability. Vacuum versions available on request. Noncontact limit and reference point switches

Drive types

.xxSD variant: 2-phase stepper motor for high torque even at low velocities and high resolution. Noncontact limit switches. Noncontact optical reference point switch with direction sensing in the middle of the travel range.

.xxAD variant: ActiveDrive DC motor for high velocity: Control via pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signals, the operating voltage is attained via an amplifier integrated in the motor housing.

Position measurement

Versions with DC motor: Rotary encoder

Optional: Integrated linear encoder, installed centrically.

Direct position measurement of the motion platform without influence on the positioning precision by mechanical play or hysteresis in the drivetrainMinimum incremental motion and slow motion

In conjunction with the SMC Hydra controller, versions with stepper motor and integrated linear encoder (L-310.xASD) achieve repeatable minimum incremental motion in the range of the sensor resolution. The same configuration attains constant low velocities of a few sensor increments per second.Fields of application

Precision positioning in industry and research, high duty cycles.
