Single-Axis Stage

The SCR100 is an ultra-high-precision, compact single-axis stage that integrates a slide guide, encoder and linear shaft motor. SCR100 offers a wide range of advantages for ultra-high performance and accuracy applications. The linear shaft motor is a coreless direct drive linear motor that has zero cogging, allowing for higher resolution, speed and continuous force than standard stepper motors and piezo servomotors.

The SCR100 stage is a moving magnet design that locates all cables and connectors in the stationary base. The resulting absence of any moving cable is clean and compact, and eliminates motion errors due to cable forces. The precisionground cross roller way provides high stiffness and smooth motion. Together they are capable of supporting higher torque levels due to offset loads with travels from 50mm to 300mm. The non-contact linear shaft motor and optical linear encoders are self-contained inside the stage, making it a low-profile compact solution. The built-in non-contact optical linear encoder is available with resolutions from 1µm to 10µm with digital output.
