NLE Series Linear Stage

Product catalog summary

NLE Design Overview
Newmark's NLE series linear slides are engineered for high resolution and repeatability within a compact design. These slides are suitable for precision positioning applications in sectors such as semiconductor processing, fiber optics manufacturing, and biotech automation. Constructed from 6061 aluminum alloy, they offer a lightweight yet robust solution. The drive system features a 303 stainless steel leadscrew with an internally lubricated acetal drive nut, ensuring zero backlash and automatic wear adjustment. Linear guide bearings provide smooth motion and high load capacity.

Catalog excerpts

NLE SERIES LINEAR STAGE NLE Design Newmark's NLE series linear slides offer high resolution and repeatability in a small footprint. NLE linear slides are designed for a variety of applications in research and other industrial areas requiring precision positioning such as in semiconductor processing, ber optics manufacturing and biotech automation. All NLE series stages are machined from 6061 aluminum alloy to provide a light yet stiff and stable linear slide. The drive system utilizes a 303 stainless steel leadscrew with internally lubricated acetal drive nut. The drive nut offers zero backlash operation that automatically adjusts for wear to insure zero backlash for the life of the stage. The use linear guide bearings provide a smooth motion with high load capacity and stiffness. Since the carriage is supported over the entire travel of the stage, a good cantilevered load capacity can be achieved. Separate connectors for motor power and limit/encoder signals are provided for ease of operation. Integrated limit switches, optical linear encoder and a high torque size 17 stepper motor are supplied as standard items. www.newmarksystems.com | 949-830-0621
