AC Servo Motor Motorized Stages
Description
Our AC servomotor stages incorporate encoders for providing feedback and closed-loop control. These motors can be positioned to high accuracy, meaning that they can be controlled exactly as required for the application. Often AC servomotors have better bearings or higher tolerance designs mostly used in applications requiring versatility and a high level of precision. The advantage of AC servomotors over stepper motors is the incorporation of constant positional feedback, which results in higher torque at higher speeds. AC servomotors also draw less current than stepper motors, resulting in higher efficiency and lower heat production. These stages are available in the following travel range options: 35, 80, 100 and 200 mm. If one of our many catalog stages does not meet your requirements, send us a request for a custom stage. OptoSigma is, after all, the industry leader in translation stages.

Piezo-Assist Linear Stages
Description
Piezo-Assist Linear Stages are manual linear translation stages, equipped with piezo-assist adjustment. The mechanism is a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) crystal, which proportionally changes its static dimension when an external electric field is applied to it. The piezo adjustment is designed to be used in conjunction with the micrometer to extend the stage resolution from 10μm down to <20nm. Piezo-assist stages are frequently used in applications such as microscopy, metrology, optical fiber alignment, interferometry, or wherever submicron linear positioning is required. Industries that utilize linear stages include research, bio-medical, life sciences, astronomy, metrology, semiconductor, and more. They are available in 25, 40, and 60-millimeter platform sizes. They are configured for X, XY, and Z-axis linear translation. All of our stages are specifically designed to be stacked with other linear and rotation stages having the same size and mounting threads. Controllers are available in 1 axis and 3-axis versions. If one of our many catalog piezo-assist stages does not meet your requirements, just send us a request for a custom version. OptoSigma is, after all, the industry leader in translation stages
