M-400 Series Translation Stages are leadscrew driven stages with a travel range of 50, 100 and 150 mm. Precision crossed roller bearings guarantee straightness of travel of 2 µm / 100 mm. The stage base is precision machined from high-density, stress-relieved aluminum for exceptional stability and minimum weight.

Two motorized versions are available: Models M-4xx.DG utilize closed loop DC motors with shaft mounted position encoders and backlash-free gearheads providing 0.1 µm minimum incremental motion. Models M-4xx.PD are equipped with 30 Watt Active Drive DC motors providing 0.2 µm minimum incremental motion and velocity up to 15 mm/sec. The novel Active Drive concept features an integrated, high efficiency power amplifier and reduces overall system cost, because the stage can be driven directly from a PC-motor controller card (e.g. C-842).

All stages are equipped with non contact hall-effect origin switches and limit switches.

M-400 series stages can be cross stacked and combined with the M-592.00 Z-axis mounting bracket to provide multi-axis motion.
