Direct Drive Linear Translation Stage of series 8MTL120XY are based on pair of 3 phase ironless linear brushless servo motor technology. Direct drive technology allow user to reach zero backlash motion with high accuracy, repeatability and low friction.

Linear non-contact optical encoder as a feedback system guarantees direct control of position with sub-nanometer resolution of motion.

Naturally aged aluminum alloy guaranties high temperature stability, softness of 8MT120XY instruments and excellent long period kinematics without drift of guide system. Small Special linear rails with crossed roller bearings for higher stiffness.

Translation stages of series 8MTL120XY can be prepared for clean rooms and vacuum up to 10^-3 Torr. For higher vacuum please contact Standa support. Additional requirement of cleanliness can be supported on demand.

Motorized translation stage can be easily connected to standard imperial/metric optical table directly. XY scanning stage is directly assembled to PLANAR like design, without using any connecting plates. Extremely high orthogonality is available by default.

Motion control of 8MTL120XY series translation stages is available with Standa or ACS motion Controllers & Drivers in exposed or housed configurations.

For industry applications 8MTL120XY stages can be supplied mounted on standard optical table or extremely flat granite plate fully sealed from spray and dust to ensure performance of kinematic pairs.
