Determining Off-Center Load Capacity for Linear Translation Stages

 

When using a linear translation stage, the payload is typically centered over the body of the translation stage. But what happens when your application requires off-center loading? In this paper, we’ll help you determine if your stage is up to the task.

 

You'll learn:

  • How a linear translation stage works
  • How to estimate off-center load capacity
  • How to use published specifications
