Precision Positioning Systems Go Nano
A new series of miniaturized, piezo-motor-driven linear positioners, LPS-24 positioners, are less than 1" wide and provide 15mm travel range with closed-loop sensor resolution up to 2nm. The small dimensions make these new positioners a choice for high precision motion in confined spaces. A vacuum-rated version is also available.
These reference-class miniature positioners are equipped with a powerful piezo-walk motor providing thrust of 5N (1 lb).
The proprietary, high-resolution piezoelectric linear motor drive offers several operating modes: long distance, high-dynamics nano-stepping (<1nm resolution), and constant velocity mode.

Barbed Fittings Offered in Five Materials
Thermobarb barbed fittings, available in five materials – polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon, PVDF, and brass – offer different performance properties to meet the demands of diverse applications. Thermobarb fittings offer simple connections – just push the fitting into the tubing and secure it with a clamp. Multiple barbs provide a tight fit with the tubing’s ID.
Sizes range from 1/8" through 1" tubing ID in styles that include tees, wyes, reducers, connectors, adapters, and nipples.

Precise, Rigid, High Load SGL Slide Guides
NB slide guides are linear bearings with low friction and non-stick or non-slip mechanisms. The slide guides provide smooth linear motion even under high loads, and range from 160mm lengths to 3000mm lengths. Six types of blocks are available, depending on the mounting space and desired mounting method. Three accuracy grades offer the right SGL slide guide for every high-precision positioning device or high-precision machine. The number of tracking grooves for ball elements or rows of rollers varies by type of glide and width ranges. Both retained and non-retained ball elements are available.
