A-131 PIglide VC Voice Coil Linear Stage with Air Bearing High-Performance Miniature Nanopositioning System  Ideal for scanning applications or highprecision positioning  Cleanroom compatible  Travel ranges to 25 mm  Load capacity to 100 N  Acceleration to 80 m/s² Reference-class PIglide linear stage The PIglide stage with air bearing and voice coil drive offers high velocity and acceleration in a compact package. The contactless components of the motion platform ensure the highest performance, quality, and lifetime. Voice coil drive technology Voice coil drives consist of 2 essential components: A permanent magnet and a coil, which is located in the air gap of the magnetic field. When current flows through the coil, it moves in the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. The direction of motion depends on the polarity. Thanks to their low weight and friction-free drive principle, voice coil drives are particularly suitable for applications, which require high dynamics and high velocities at limited travel ranges. High scan frequencies and precision positioning are also possible with these drives, because they are free of the effects of hysteresis. Accessories and options − Encoder − Bellows for additional protection − PIglide® filter and air preparation kits − Single and multi-axis motion controllers

Application fields High-speed scanning, applications in manufacturing. Thanks to the friction-free motion, no particles are formed, which makes PIglide® stages ideal for cleanroom applications.

* Dependent on the flatness of the surface, on which the stage is mounted. ** Can be limited by the payload, controller or drive. *** Assumes that the center of gravity is centered no more than 50 mm from the motion platform. # Alternative resolutions on request. Higher resolutions can limit the velocity. ## Improved accuracy can be obtained with controller-based error compensation. ### To protect the stage against damage, it is recommended to connect an air pressure sensor to the Motion-Stop input of the controller.
