1 Axis Linear Stages & Actuators
1 axis linear stages & actuators are available in multiple sizes using multiple technologies and form factors. Models include actuators and stages that offer a wide variety of features and benefits. Air-bearing motion systems offer your manufacturing process fast movement on a cushion of air, while using a variety of drive technologies such as servo motors and spindle drives for precision nanometer motion.
These 1 axis stages or actuators are ideal for large 1+ m travel, or even short-stroke operations of 8 mm.
Air-bearings offer greater precision and accuracy than mechanical bearings, and exhibit minimal eccentricity (lateral runout) and wobble (pitch and roll). Many of these products use amplifiers that are CANopen and EtherCAT compatible. Click here to learn more about precision long & short travel integrated systems that use EtherCAT. Two example EtherCAT compatible servo amplifiers are detailed at the bottom of this page.
Air-bearing systems are ideal for EUV chip manufacturing, surface finishing to <0.05 micron grinding tolerances, and metrology probe motion.
1 Axis Linear Stages Featured Systems are below. Additional Models & Custom Systems are available.
Short-Stroke Air-Bearing 1 Axis Stage
This small 1 axis stage uses an air-bearing for guidance and a voice coil for the drive motion.
- Friction-free (wear-free).
- Insensitive to thermal jamming.
- Inexpensive high-quality air-bearing construction.
- Ideal for highly dynamic and precision positioning.
Carbon Fiber Air-Bearing 1 Axis Stage
This stage features:
- Friction-free (wear-free).
- Fast low-weight carbon fiber stage.
- Inexpensive high-quality air-bearing construction.
- Ideal for highly dynamic and precision positioning.
This 1 axis system incorporates an ironless linear motor and also has an integrated high-resolution measuring system. The system is ideal for a focusing lens, a laser, or workpieces to be precisely positioned. The system is suitable for clean room applications.

Linear Actuators – EC3 Series
These 1-axis actuators offer:
- Complete fitted electric actuator
- Scalable stroke
- Brake, gear, encoder and connectors options are available
- Many other variant-models are available
- ATEX Axes are available for areas with explosive air environments
These ready-to-connect linear 1-axis systems are available with precisely matched drive components (servo motor and servo amplifier). Various options are available, e.g. various field bus interfaces (such as EtherCAT, CANopen, PROFIBUS, PROFINET or Ethernet), encoder types, holding brake and cable lengths.
These actuators are fast, accurate positioning for inline inspection tasks, or high-precision pick & place of components on printed circuit boards. Many other actuator models are available.
Direct Linear Motor Axis Stage
These 1-axis systems designed for dynamic and precise positioning offer:
- Freely selectable stroke
- Backlash-free travel
- Position resolution of 1 µm
- ISO Class 5 ready
This linear 1-axis stage is based on an iron-core linear motor. Equipped with precisely matched drive components (servomotor and servo amplifier), the axis is predestined for linear movements, which require high dynamics with high continuous forces.

Example EtherCAT Compatible Servo Amplifiers, ECOVARIO® Models 616A & 616D
These two 1-axis and 2-axis servo amplifiers are powerful and ideal for dynamic positioning – and they are EtherCAT compatible. Additional features and benefits include:
- High Connectivity – EtherCAT, CANopen, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet, RS485 & 232
- Integrated Safety – Safe-Torque-Off according to EN 61800-5-2
- Cost-Effective – Implemented sequences replace smaller controllers
- Easy Commissioning – Intuitive set-up via ECOSTUDIO® engineering software.
- Diverse Drive Applications – Numerous technology functions reducing time-consuming programming.
Models 616A and 616D are ideal for high-dynamic handling, feeding and indexing stations. Often this is for electronics inspection and measurement cells. Laser, marking and cutting stations will also benefit from fast commissioning and the fieldbus options. There are many other amplifier and controller options available.
