The ES-50 elevation stage is designed for applications with limited space conditions. The ES-50 stage is driven by a 2-phase stepper motor and is equipped with two mechanical limit switches. Two pre-loaded ball slides assure smooth motion and high stiffness. The ES-50 allows for a highly rigid XYZ setup without the need for adapter brackets when combined with the VT-50 series of linear stages. Versions capable of operation in vacuum (10-6 mbar) are available. The ES-50 is compatible with the MMC-200 controller.
