Motorized Positioning Stage

Submitted by nestorb on Thu, 2005-09-01 07:44.

The SQ-2115 closed-loop motorized positioning stage from New Scale Technologies provides five newtons of force in a thin, 17-mm profile. The stage contains an integral optical encoder and a piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motor, which supports vertical loads of up to 0.5 kg with negligible heating and can hold its position in power-off mode. The SQ-2115 is designed for automated nanopositioning in research and industrial instruments. It is ideal in tight spaces, including microscope stages and vacuum chambers; a high-vacuum-compatible option is available. The SQ-2115 stages are easily assembled into two- and three-axis precision positioning systems. The company's SQ-3300 controller can drive up to three motorized stages.
