Positioning Stages Deliver Precise, Smooth Travel

These precision positioning stages employ proprietary segmented cylinder linear bearing elements that are said to optimize stability and smoothness of travel. The SR Series of micrometer-driven positioning stages is well-suited for scientific, micro-electronic, instrumentation and medical applications. The proprietary bearing design combines the benefits of a line-contact linear bearing with the stability and damping features of a pure friction dove-tail element. The design includes a series of short segmented-cylinder bearing elements contained by four hardened stainless-steel rods. The rods on each side serve as the bearing raceway.
