The PPS-60 is a high-precision, long travel linear stage. The same stage is available with piezo motor, linear motor or stepper motor drives. Ball bearings assure high stiffness and guiding accuracy for loads up to 150N. The PPS-60 is available with an optional linear encoder for increased resolution and repeatability. PPS-60 stages can be mounted in XY without any adapter, and a Z-axis can be added with the use of a standard mounting bracket.
