UHV Stage VSM17-X
This linear translation stage is suitable for use in UHV and can support loads of up to 50 kg and travel from 50 to 200 mm. 1 µm or 5 µm resolution and zero backlash allows for precise in-vacuum motion. They can be used standalone or as part of a complex motion system, as they are compatible with the range of VSM17 modular stages. They have very high rigidity, which is necessary where several transporters are stacked for compound motion or where offset loads are present. They are manufactured with UHV compatible material and construction methods and utilize AML UHV stepper motors.
