Reference Manual
1. Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The PPS-20 is a low profile, high-precision linear stage outfitted with a linear or
stepper motor. Miniature cross-roller bearings assure high stiffness and guiding
accuracy for loads up to 20 N (Stepper motor) (horizontal orientation) and 2 N
(Linear motor). The PPS-20 LMSM is available in travel lengths of up to 51 mm, and
an optional linear encoder provides submicron repeatability. High Vacuum (10-6
mbar) compatible versions are available.
Features:
▪Stepper Motor travel ranges of 10 mm, 18 mm, 26 mm, and 51 mm
▪Linear Motor travel ranges of 11 mm, 18 mm, and 25 mm
▪Load capacity up to 20 N (horizontal)
▪Optional 2 nm resolution external digital encoder or 10 nm Analog encoder

3. Preparing to Install the PPS-20 LMSM Stage
3.1 Installation Preparation
When mounting the stage, it is important to consider the flatness of the mounting
surface, as the stage will conform to the shape of that surface. A surface that is
not flat can adversely affect the performance and structural integrity of the stage.
The stage is calibrated and guaranteed to be within specification at 20°C ±5°C,
unless otherwise specified. Be sure to use the stage under the following conditions:
▪Mount to a clean and flat surface which is free of debris, burrs or dings
▪An indoor atmosphere free of corrosive gases, excessive dust, and
condensation
▪Temperature range of 0-40°C
▪Relative humidity between 20-80%
▪Locate away from water, heat, and electrical noise
3.2 Package Contents
If product is damaged or there are missing components, contact MICRONIX USA
immediately. Do not discard product packaging in case of return shipment.
Package Should Contain:
▪PPS-20 Linear Stage
▪Reference Manual
▪Any other previously agreed upon components such as a controller

4. Installing the PPS-20 LMSM Stage
Mounting patterns require M2 screws for mounting and M1.5 x 5mm dowel pins for
precision alignment. Additional brackets and screws may be required for custom
applications.
4.1 PPS-20 LMSM Installation
4.1.1 General Mounting
For general mounting configurations, mount the base to the mounting surface
using the thru holes. Move the carriage to access base mounting pattern. (Please
note, it is possible to move the carriage of the linear motor configurations manually
without damaging the stage, however, for *stepper versions the motor must be
driven by a controller to reposition the carriage.)
Requires:
2x M1.5 x 5mm Dowel Pins
2x M2 Socket Head Cap Screws
1. Move carriage via controller*, if
necessary, to access mounting
hole. Insert Pins and M2 SHCS as
shown.

2. Move carriage via controller*, if
necessary, to access remaining
mounting hole. Install M2 SHCS as
shown.
