Compact Linear Translation Stage for Nanopositioning

The PI Micos LPS-45 linear translation stage is designed to position samples along a precisely guided path with distances up to 1 inch. The position of the moving platform is measured by an optical linear encoder with nanometer resolution and controlled in closed-loop operation by a compact electronic motion controller.
 

Several versions are available, for applications in air, vacuum and even for non-magnetic environments. Despite its compact dimensions and low profile of only 15 mm, the stage offers a standard travel range of 13 mm (1/2”) and 26 mm (1”) and can be scaled up for longer ranges, if required.
