Design Features Integrated, low-profile, XY, ball-screw stage Long-life linear motion guide bearing system Optional low thermal expansion glass linear encoder Cost-effective, high-precision planar performance Aerotech’s PlanarSL mechanical bearing, ball-screw-driven XY stages offer exceptional performance in a cost-effective, low-profile package. Combining two axes of motion in a compact package, the PlanarSL is the perfect solution for applications ranging from surface metrology to general high-precision automation. Robust, High-Precision Design The PlanarSL comes standard with a precision-ground and preloaded ball screw. Unlike competitive designs where the ball screw is positioned on the side or off-center, the PlanarSL is designed to drive directly through the centers of friction and stiffness resulting in superior geometric performance and accuracy. High-precision linear motion guide bearings provide excellent straightness and flatness performance while supplying optimal support of the moving carriage over the entire XY travel. Using careful design and years of experience in precision motion systems, the PlanarSL structural elements have been optimized for the highest possible planar performance. Optional Low
