Introduction
The mSR is a series of linear positioners that fits a miniature foot print but delivers large value for cus-
tomers looking to move a relatively light payload with high precision. All key components are integral
to the unit - residing within the body of the stage to provide a clean looking, reliable, unobstructed
package. At the heart of the mSR is an innovative, non-contact linear servo motor. This direct drive
motor has been optimized for force, speed, and acceleration, to deliver outstanding performance and
response. A variety of high precision non-contact linear encoders provides sub-micron resolution and
repeatability. Selectable resolutions range from 10 nanometers to 1 micron. Precision linear ‘square
rails’ provide extremely smooth - precise linear translation. Travel limit and home sensors are conven-
iently designed into the unit for easy adjustment over the entire travel of the stage. Each stage has
been fitted with hi-flex cabling to address cable flexing concerns associated with multi-axis system.
The mSR is intended to be integrated as a component into a machine with separate power electron-
ics, and motion controller. As such the mSR is an incomplete machine, requiring proper power elec-
tronics to be added, as well as necessary machine guarding. The mSR is only rated for use in relative-
ly clean environments moving relatively light payloads (≤ 8 kg).
