Van Nuys, CA – Optimal Engineering Systems’ (OES) low profile, XYθ (theta) stages are designed for high precision alignment applications. These stages move in an XY-plane and rotate around the center of the XY-plane. The terms alignment table, or XY-rotation stage are often used interchangeably with XYθ, or XY-theta stage. Available in 12 models, in two precision grades, these stages have linear travels from +/- 2 mm by +/- 2 mm (+/- 0.078 in by +/- 0.078 in) up to +/- 30 mm by +/- 30 mm (+/-1.181 in by +/- 1.181 in). Additionally, XYθ (theta) stages can rotate around the center of the XY plane up to +/- 6O. Four models of the XYθ (theta) stages have solid tables that are sized from 100 mm by 100 mm (3.937 in by 3.937 in) to 200 mm by 200 mm (7.874 in by 7.874 in), and eight stages, from 250 mm x 250 mm (9.843 in by 9.843 in) to 1500 mm by 1500 mm (59.055 in by 59.055 in), are hollow core (open frame) stages.

Available in Normal and Precision grades, these XYθ (theta) stages have preloaded cross roller bearings and typical Normal Repeated Positioning Accuracy is from +/- 1.75 µm to +/- 2.5 µm, and typical Precision Repeated Positioning Accuracy is from +/- 0.7 µm to +/- 1.0 µm.

Van Nuys, CA – Linear DC Motors, Voice Coil Motors (VCM) or Voice Coil Actuators (VCA) are the simplest type of electric motors for motion control applications. These motors consist of two separate parts; the magnetic housing and the coil.

Applying a voltage across the terminals of the motor causes the motor to move to one direction. Reversing the polarity of the applied voltage will move the motor to the opposite direction. The generated force is proportional to the current that flows through the motor coil. This force is almost constant in the specified stroke range of the motor.

Voice coil motors do not need commutation and using a position sensor, positioning accuracies of less than one micron or 0.00004 inches are achievable.

The non-commutated motor construction increases reliability. The direct coupling of the motor to the load allows for fast acceleration / deceleration and high speed operation.
Very high speeds and accelerations can be easily achieved.

The moving part needs to be supported by a mechanism supplied by the customer.

This type of motor may be used in conjunction with a position sensor and a motion controller for accurate positioning.

All the following motors are also available with metric thread.

The high speed, 10 mm (0.394 in.) travel, Equipment Solutions’, VCS-10H Voice Coil Stage features an integrated non-contact optical and/or digital position feedback sensor for 200 nanometer (7.87 10-6 in.) repeatability. The low moving mass, voice coil stage is ideal for: Optical focusing and testing, scanning microscopy, medical, semiconductor, circuit board assembly, and micro manufacturing and machining applications.

The compact 33.0 mm x 76.0 mm x 31.8 mm (1.3 in. x 3.0 in. x 1.25 in.), low mass, voice coil stage uses ± 12 VDC to ± 24 VDC. The stages can be supplied with a high performance single axis DC motor controller and amplifier that were developed for applications requiring high temporal and spatial servo precision. The low inertia cross roller stage is rated at 6.7 N (1.5 lbs.) continuous force and 13.35 N (3 lbs.) peak for 10 seconds and is cleanroom compatible. For easy integration into a new or existing application the VCS-10H Voice Coil Stage has multiple sets of mounting holes on several surfaces.

1-Axis Motion Controller Has Onboard Brushless/Brush Servo Drive

Greenville, DE —   Servo2Go.com has just added Galil Motion Control’s New Econo Series Motion Controller with Ethernet & Onboard Servo Drive, the CDS-3310, to its broad range of high performance cost effective Ethernet based Motion controllers.

Galil Motion Control recently released the CDS-3310 single-axis controller and drive system designed to provide high performance and precise control of a single brush or brushless servo motor. According to the company, it combines a programmable motion controller and 500-Watt drive in a single, compact package that eliminates the external wiring between the controller and drive.

The CDS-3310 includes PID compensation with notch filter and velocity/acceleration feedforward, non-volatile program memory with multitasking, uncommitted digital and analog I/O, and advanced modes of motion such as electronic gearing and teach-and-playback. Galil says the product accepts differential encoder inputs up to 12 MHz, and provides dual encoder inputs that are designed to enable it to accommodate electronic gearing or dual-loop applications.

Longmeadow, MA – Self lubricating, sintered bronze and power metal alloy plain bearings from LM76 feature: Very high precision, high load capacity (to 1422 lbs/sq.in.), high speed (to 30,000 rpm), high temperature (over 1000 degrees F), very low coefficient of friction (0.04), and low noise. Available in inch sizes (0.250 in. to 2.500 in. ID x 2.000 in. long) and metric sizes (2 mm to 100 mm ID x 120 mm long) these bearings have applications in: Appliances such as washing machines, exercise equipment, portable machine tools, toys, motors, and automotive equipment such as alternators.

Because of the very low coefficient of friction these bearings show no wear after many thousands of hours of use. Standard inch and metric cylindrical and flanged oil impregnated bearings are typically shipped from stock, Custom bearings (ID, OD, flange size, and length) can be ordered as well as special purpose alloys. Alloys include: sintered bronze, iron sintered bronze, ParaliteTM (non-migrating lubricant), and TriboloyTM (chromium, nickel, cobalt alloy for temperatures over 1000 degrees F). TriboloyTM sintered bearings are resistant to corrosion, erosion, abrasion, and galling, and even at high temperatures they are resistant to oxidation.

LM76 also manufacturers a broad variety of FDA & USDA compliant bearings and shafting, in inch sizes of .25 inches to 1.5 inches, and a FDA & USDA compliant profile rail and slide system that can easily be integrated into new and existing applications. The bearing options include: Self-lubricating FDA & USDA compliant Teflon® composite bearings in a 304 stainless steel shell, and lower cost bearings with a ceramic coated shell and FDA & USDA compliant liner. Bearings are available in closed and open configurations, and are drop-in replacements for all inch sized linear ball bearings.

Founded in 1976, LM76 has been a leading designer/manufacturer of linear bearings, slides and linear motion systems. LM76 is renowned for its industry leading Minuteman Teflon® Composite linear bearings. LM76 is a leading supplier of precision linear shafting: RC60, 300 Series Stainless Steel, and ceramic coated aluminum shafting. LM76 also offers several FDA/USDA compliant linear bearings and slides for the food processing, pharmaceutical, medical, and packaging industries.

Greenville, DE — These NEMA standard 2 phase 1.8 degree hybrid motion control step motors offer high torque in a compact lightweight rugged housing. A variety of windings are available to meet most application requirements. These motors offer fast damping and high slew rates for better control in full/half or microstep mode. The torque levels reached with this step motor line makes them a cost effective alternative to servo motors in many applications.

The HT24 motors are a new frame size step motor offering up to 30% more torque than the previous HT23 series in a similar package size. The only significant difference in size between an HT23 and HT24 is that the HT24 has a larger shaft diameter.

HT24 motors are ideal for applications where more power is required but changing to a size 34 motor is not possible..

HT24 motors are available with single or dual shafts, and all motors are optimized for microstepping.

Features of these very capable High Torque Stepper Motors:
