Introduction
The mSR is a linear positioner that fits a miniature foot print but delivers large value for customers
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 motors. 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 repeatabil-
ity. Selectable resolutions range from 10 nanometers to 1 micron. Precision linear ‘square rails’ pro-
vide extremely smooth - precise linear translation. Travel limit and home sensors are conveniently de-
signed 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 systems.
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 (≤12 kg).
