The M-IMS100V Metric Vertical Linear Stages offers 100 mm vertical travel in a cost effective package. They are an ideal solution for both precision industrial and laboratory applications requiring precise vertical motion with 0.3 μm MIM for loads up to 400 N. Features include: four-way equal load ball bearings to provide superior cantilevered loading characteristics, caged recirculating balls to ensure maintenance-free operation without cage migration, self-locking lead screw to ensure superior in-position stability with no change of position at power off, and a direct-read to encoder provide superior accuracy and minimum hysteresis. Ideal for a wide range of precision industrial and research applications.
FEM-Optimized Aluminum Body
Similar to the finite element method (FEM) used to optimize the structural design of IMS series DC and stepper motor linear stages, the optimized aluminum body of the IMS-V is designed for extreme stiffness and minimizes bi-metal bending without compromising weight. This results in a light and stable stage whose rigid body reduces deflection under load.
Recirculating Ball Bearings for High Load Capacity
The IMS-V features four-point contact, recirculating ball bearings to provide superior cantilevered loading capacity compared to other vertical stage families. The caged, recirculating ball bearings counteract moment loads and ensure maintenance-free operation.
Direct Position Feedback
Precision position feedback is provided by a linear scale encoder, which contributes to sub-micron MIM and makes the IMS-V less susceptible to hysteresis. The direct read system is impervious to position drift caused by motion-induced heating of the lead screw for improved accuracy and repeatability.
Efficient Drive System
The drive system utilizes a self-locking lead screw with a proprietary, low-friction and wear-resistant nut optimized for carrying high axial loads. Consequently, these features decrease settling time by minimizing oscillation and unwanted motion. Additionally, the self-locking lead screw is not back drivable. This offers the best position stability, and (in contrast to braked ball screw drives) when the stage is within proper loading conditons, its position will not change when power is off.
Metrology Report Included at No Additional Cost
Newport guarantees specification values which are measured and recorded following ASME B5.57 and ISO 230-2 standards. The typical performance values are two times better than the guaranteed specifications.
