quote / order

M-232, dimensions in mm. Note that a comma is used in the drawings instead of a decimal point.

Compact precision-class linear drive

High-resolution linear actuator, DC motor. Compact design due to folded drive. Rotating tip, rotating pusher. Position-controlled DC motors with a gearhead and high-resolution rotary encoders allow for incremental motion and repeatability of just 100 nm

Fits on the M-105 microtranslation stage.

High-quality components

Extremely low-friction and backlash-free construction. Noncontact limit switches protect the mechanics. Position-controlled variants with differential encoder driver in the connector for safe signal transfer over distances up to 10 m

Application fields

Precision alignment, motorized alternative for micrometer screws.
