Motorized translation stage 8MT30-50 is a newly developed stage, which incorporates all the improvements and modifications implemented since its predecessor 8MT173-20-50 was launched. 8MT30-50 replaces older stage 8MT173-20-50.
It boasts possibility to operate in any orientation, which means that the stage can be hung upside-down or be operated vertically with motor facing upward or downward. The durability of a stage was taken seriously into consideration and now you can apply grease directly to the screw without disassembling the stage.
Vertical load capacity is increased to 3 kg. The stage is spring preloaded to eliminate backlash. The design of 8MT30-50 ensures more stable and precise motion over full translation range. For vertical (Z axis) mounting, we offer angle bracket 2AB173-20-50. Angle brackets of custom design can be manufactured on request.
Two mechanical limit switches built into each translation stage used for an emergency stop at ends of travel range or to establish a reference position with an accuracy of several motor steps (use E4 option for more accurate zero position setting, see Sensors).
Motor position can be visually determined with an accuracy of one step by reading a scale engraved on dial knob fitted on the motor shaft (use Encoder for monitoring exact position using PC, see Sensors). Body and platform of 8MT30-50 are made of black finished aluminum. Functional parts are made of steel.
