Product overview

The PIglide MB linear stage with air bearing is equipped with a servo linear motor drive with preloaded air bearings and integrated optical linear encoder. This stage offers ultra-precision in miniature format. The combination of the noncontact components results in a frictionless motion platform that offers the highest performance, quality, and lifetime.

Accessories and options

PIglide Filter and Air Preparation Kits
Single and multi-axis motion controller
Base plates made of granite and systems for reducing vibration

Application fields

The stage is ideally suited for many high precision applications, such as metrology, photonics alignment, optics positioning, and scanning. The noncontact design also is ideal for cleanroom applications. Electrical cables are not moved. The air bearing module offers a locking design for the ultimate in position stability.
