1 Axis Linear Stages & Actuators

1 axis linear stages

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).  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:

precision air bearing for short strokes

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.

x axis air bearing precision stage

NEW 30˚ Air-Bearing 1 Axis Stage

This precision linear 1 axis air-bearing stage incorporates a low-cost aluminum stage.

  • Can handle loads up to 40 kg.
  • Max stroke is 230 mm.
  • Carbon fiber support table.
  • Cost-effective entry-level model for high precision.

This 1-axis stage is driven by an ironless linear motor and incorporates a high-resolution measuring system.  This system is ideal for positioning a lens, laser or a component with precision and without direct contact due to the air-bearing guidance system.

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.

x-axis precision stage

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.
