The PRO115LM and PRO190LM industrial linear motor positioning stages from Aerotech (Pittsburgh, PA) feature absolute encoder options, a long-life recirculating linear guide bearing system, and a low-friction sealing solution for use in laser machining applications. Incremental and absolute encoders are available as standard options, and enable minimum incremental motion down to 5nm and sub-micrometer repeatability. Optional HALAR factory calibration improves positioning accuracy to ±0.75μm. Travels range from 50 to 1500mm for standard models, with speeds to 2 m/s. An ironless forcer coil provides high force with zero cogging for smooth velocity and position control. Cleanroom prepared and vacuum versions are available.
