Compact high-precision motorized Z stages for instruments, automation equipment and short-stroke, high-repetition positioning.

The CZF series are precision motorized vertical-motion stages for applications that need both tight accuracy and frequent repeated moves. A ball screw drives the lift through a 1:1 timing belt (CZF8-60) or a worm gear reduction (CZF20-120, CZF40-200), guided by crossed-roller or linear slider guides mounted on finish-ground surfaces. The hard black anodized aluminum bodies are compact enough for integration into instruments and automation equipment with strict space and weight limits.

Key Features

  • Ball screw lift: φ6 × 1 mm with 1:1 timing belt (CZF8-60); φ12 × 5 or φ16 × 10 with 80:1 or 120:1 worm gear reduction
  • Tin bronze worm gears and high-frequency-quenched steel worms on CZF20-120 and CZF40-200
  • Crossed-roller bearing guide (CZF8-60) or linear slider guides (CZF20-120, CZF40-200) on finish-ground mounting surfaces
  • Fine resolution on worm-driven models: ≈0.039 µm and ≈0.052 µm at 8 microsteps
  • Repeatability ≤ ±3 µm (CZF8-60) and ≤ ±2 µm (CZF20-120)
  • Three built-in sensors (2 limit, 1 origin) with high-flex cable; modular cable units simplify maintenance
  • Two-phase stepping motors as standard; five-phase 28 stepping motor available via the -ST528 ordering suffix

Typical Applications

  • Integration into instruments and automation equipment
  • Short-stroke, high-repetition positioning on production lines
  • Vertical alignment of optics and samples
  • Precision focusing and height adjustment
