Ball-screw motorized linear stages for medium table sizes and medium to long travel under heavy loads.

The PA series are precision motorized linear stages with medium-size tables and travel ranges from 50 mm to 1000 mm. A rigid U-section aluminum base, precision ball screw, linear-slider guides and a high-performance shaft coupling suit heavy-load and multi-axis setups in demanding environments. A two-phase stepping motor is standard; servo motors and a stainless-steel dust cover are available as options.

Key Features

  • U-section aluminum alloy base plate, precision machined and black anodized for high rigidity
  • Precision-grade linear-slider guides for high load capacity and motion accuracy
  • Precision ball screws: φ12 × 4 (PA050–PA200), φ16 × 5 (PA300–PA400), φ25 × 5 (PA600–PA1000)
  • 1 µm or 1.25 µm resolution at 20 microsteps; minimum incremental motion ≤ 2 µm
  • Horizontal load up to 80 kg; PAxx-Z versions are offered for vertical loads
  • Two-phase 57 stepping motor standard; two-phase 42 stepping motor or AC servo motor optional
  • Optional stainless-steel dust cover; sensors internal as standard or external left/right

Typical Applications

  • Positioning of samples, optics and fixtures over long travel
  • Multi-axis XY and XYZ stage assemblies
  • Heavy-load positioning in automation equipment
  • Inspection and measurement systems
