Linear positioning stages offer high precision, repeatability, and flexibility, making them indispensable tools in industries where precise motion control is essential for achieving high-quality results.

Unlike manual stages, which rely on human operators for adjustment, motorized stages are controlled electronically, allowing for precise positioning with minimal error.

Motorized stages enable automation that not only increases efficiency, but also increases repeatability as motorized stages can reliably return to specific positions, ensuring consistent results over time. They can be easily programmed to follow predefined paths or sequences of movements, allowing for complex motion profiles that would be challenging or impossible to achieve manually.

The Simplified Motorized Stage stands out due to its innovative design with preloaded ball cage guides, each containing 90 precision balls. Combined with a Nanotec hybrid stepper motor, this configuration ensures smooth and consistent operation of the drive spindle, delivering precise and reliable positioning. The special ball cage guides significantly reduce the precision required for housing manufacturing, leading to simplified production and assembly. Additional components, such as couplings and adjustment devices for preload and tolerance compensation, can be eliminated. Instead of conventional brass or recirculating ball nuts, a preloaded shaft nut made from high-strength, low-friction plastic is used, offering a lubrication-free, low-outgassing solution with minimal hysteresis. This design simplification even allows for the housing to be produced using 3D printing, enabling customization for your prototype with almost no loss of precision—an innovation for rapid prototyping. Precise – Customizable – Simple.
