Direct Drive Linear Motor Stages
A direct drive motor stage is a high-precision positioning stage with a motor directly connected to the load. This stage provides highly accurate and repeatable positioning by eliminating mechanical components such as belts or gears, which can introduce backlash and wear over time. Below is a selection of direct drive stage and linear motor stage products from our portfolio, and each can be modified and configured to meet your specific needs. Contact us if you need assistance identifying the right motion solution for your application.
