quote / order

M-11x.1VG1, dimensions in mm. Note that a comma is used in the drawing instead of a decimal point.

Compact linear stage, versatile in use

Linear stage with compact size due to folded drive with belt drive. Clear aperture with 10 mm Ø. XY setups can be mounted directly without adapter plate.

Reduced outgassing especially for use in vacuum environments

Most notably, for the lubrication of the guides and the spindle a material with particularly low outgassing is used. This allows a bakeout temperature of up to 80° C. With this and other modifications of the PI V6 vacuum class, this positioner can be used up to 10^-6hPa.

Drive

Closed-loop DC gear motor
Backlash-compensated threaded spindle

Position measuring

Rotary encoder on the motor shaft
Noncontact Hall effect reference and limit switches

Application fields

Vacuum chambers. Research. Beamline instrumentation. Microscopy. Electronics assembly and inspection.

Note on minimum incremental motion: Values are achieved with the recommended controller

Note on nominal current: Values apply per phase

At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.
