PI further expands its PIMag series of high dynamics linear motor stages with the V-508 – a series of compact linear positioning stages with high-force, 3-phase linear motors and crossed roller guides.
The V-508 family of 18 linear motor stages is offered with 80mm, 170mm, and 250mm travel range. Two motor options are available – ironless for highest resolution and smoothest motion, and iron-core for highest force, acceleration, and velocity up to 1m/sec.
Mechanically, the V-508 series features high load precision crossed roller bearings with anti-creep cage assist, preventing roller creep for long lifetime in high duty cycle industrial applications, together with the zero-wear, non-contact linear motor.
A variety of incremental and absolute measuring linear encoders are available, from 0.2nm resolution to 78nm resolution. Absolute encoders provide the stage position to the controller immediately after power up – no referencing required and no possibility to lose encoder counts in electrically noisy environments.
