Click below to watch on demand.       This webinar will explore the question of “make or buy” concerning precision linear modules.  We will explore in detail the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.  We will also step through the design process for each…

Steinmeyer now sells a new ball screw line called Xi-Plus. These screws feature the manufacturer’s smoothest raceway surface ever to get significantly quieter operation with reduced vibration for every application. More after the jump. Xi-Plus precision ball screws are manufactured in Germany like all Steinmeyer products. The ball screws undergo a proprietary finishing process that removes micron-sized defects […]

Linear Motion Tips

High-precision linear stages used for applications such as surface measurement in life sciences, semiconductor manufacturing and other industries often require two distinctly different modes of motion. A rapid mode usually is needed to change locations quickly in the workspace, which might then be followed by very slow motion for finer focusing and resolution. The traditional…

By George A. Jaffe, Steinmeyer, Inc. and Alexander F. Beck, A. Steinmeyer GmbH Reprint Info >> The debate over which type of screw is best continues. While amount of travel and backlash are often cited as useful differentiators, another one to consider is the manufacturing process and how it affects accuracy and screw performance. True…

A 75-page catalog displays a range of linear and rotary positioning systems. The stages have low runout accuracies and use mechanical linear bearings. The catalog includes single-multi axis precision stages with resolutions to 5 nm and built-in motors and controllers. It also details available drive mechanisms, such as ball screw, linear motor, and Piezo motor.…

Steinmeyer, Inc. has announced the release of a new comprehensive 75-page catalog featuring a wide range of linear and rotary positioning systems made by Steinmeyer FMD. These stages boast some of the lowest runout accuracies available while still using mechanical linear bearings. Featured in this new catalog are single-multi axis precision stages, some with resolutions…

The MT63-DC compact precision positioning stage has a low-profile design with a standard travel of 25 mm. Available in a single or three-axis XYZ configuration, the overall height of the single axis table is 25.5 mm with a  straightness/flatness runout of 3 µm.  A runout of 1 µm is available.  Included in the compact design…
