MMX Positioning Products

Product catalog summary

Overview: The MMX series of miniature linear stages by Dover Motion offers high performance, reliability, and value. These stages feature a high power motor with a higher force density, delivering five times the force of similar products. They are designed with high precision anti-creep crossed roller guideways for smooth motion and high stiffness. The brushless linear servo motor allows for high speeds without maintenance, making it suitable for high throughput applications.

Specifications: The MMX stages are available in travel lengths of 25 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm. They feature a 1-phase motor for the 25 mm version and a 3-phase motor for the others. The stages offer high accuracy with precision encoder feedback and servo control, and a vertical load capacity of 500 g without a counterbalance. The stages are customizable and stackable for unique applications.

Performance and Features: The MMX stages increase throughput with a powerful servo motor design in a compact form factor. They provide stable scan motion with a proprietary smooth motor design and high accuracy from precision encoder feedback. The stages are available with a black anodized aluminum finish and externally adjustable limit sensors.

Technical Specifications: The stages have a bi-directional repeatability of ±0.4 μm and a load capacity of up to 10 kg. Maximum acceleration and velocity are encoder and load dependent, with values up to 115 m/s² and 2.0 m/s, respectively. The stages have a flatness and straightness of 3-6 μm TIR, depending on the model.

Motor and Electrical Specifications: The motor specifications include peak and continuous force values, motor constant, peak and continuous current, electrical resistance, inductance, back EMF, force constant, and maximum allowable coil temperature. The stages are equipped with a 3-phase WYE motor pinout and a 1-phase motor pinout, with detailed pin descriptions and wire colors provided.

Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for each model (MMX-25, MMX-50, MMX-100, MMX-150) in both metric and imperial units, including views from different angles and connector options.

Quality and Compliance: Dover Motion has implemented a Quality Management System in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 for the design and manufacture of precision positioning products and motion systems.
