Product Name: M-116 Micro Rotation Stages with Worm Gear Drive

Product Description

M-116 rotation stages are equipped with low-friction, spring-preloaded worm gear drives allowing unlimited rotation in either direction in an extremely compact package.

Stepper and Servo Motors
Both drive options provide a cost-effective solution for industrial and OEM environments. A miniature DC or stepper motor actuates motion via a spring-preloaded worm gear drive and zero-backlash (with M-116.xxH versions) gearhead. To meet the most critical positioning demands, the DC motor is equipped with a high-resolution encoder featuring resolution of 2.048 counts per revolution. The combination of the extremely low-stiction / low-friction construction and high-resolution encoder allows for minimum incremental motion of 25 µrad at speeds up to 20 degrees/second.

Multi-Axis Combinations
M-116 rotary stages can be combined with the M-110, M-111 and M-112 micro linear stages without an additional adapter plate to keep the total height at a minimum. A variety of add-on Piezo-Nanoalignment units are also available, see the “Photonics” section.

Clear Aperture, Lens Adapter
The M-116 is designed with a clear aperture for extended versatility in optics applications. The M-116.AL1 lens adapter is available to accommodate 0.5” optics such as polarizers.

Non-Contact Reference Switch
M-116 micro rotary stages are equipped with an integrated optical reference switch. For ease of operation and setup, all models come with a scale ring on the outer edge of the turntable.

Optional Limit Switches
To protect your equipment and increase versatility in automation applications, the rotary stage can optionally be equipped with optical limit switches. The travel can be limited to a range between 0° and 330° ±2° (reference switch between 30° and 330°).

Application Examples
