Linear Stages now have built in servo motors
Linear Positioning Stages with built-in integrated servo motors have been introduced by Bayside Motion Group.
With a peak force of 340N, the Luge provides accelerations up to 4g and constant velocities of 3m/s with jitter-free travel (up to 2m) to permit precision on-the-fly functions to be performed.
An integral encoder provides accuracies up to 0.1um (+/-2um repeatability), and recirculating linear guides impart exceptional load carrying capabilities (39kg).
Design features of the Luge include Bayside's AutoFlex technology, a unique flexure design that automatically adjusts bearing preload for optimum system performance during thermal expansion and high accelerations.
There are also prewired limit switches.
Bayside also offers direct drive and flange mount models versions of the Luge.
