Company Profile How Zaber Got Its Start Zaber Technologies was founded in 1997 by a group of friends with diverse interests in electro-mechanical systems, programming, and physics. Back then, precision linear actuators all used DC motors with gearboxes and encoders, and they required complicated motion control cards, bulky controllers, separate driver amplifiers, and special power supplies. Precision motion control was expensive, difficult to set up, and cumbersome to use. Zaber’s founders recognized the need for an inexpensive, integrated solution for motion control. They wanted to make motion...

When you talk, we listen; we continually expand and improve our product line based on your feedback. www.zaber.com Expandable Design Easy Installation Automating more than one axis? Daisy-chain and control multiple devices from a single computer (via USB, Serial, or Ethernet). Power can be transmitted through the data cables, allowing multiple devices to be powered from a single power supply. Minimal hardware and cabling make Zaber products easy to set up and help reduce clutter on the workbench. Connect the Zaber controller (built into the device or stand-alone) to your computer via USB or RS-232...

About Our Products Built-in controllers simplify your set-up Most of our devices have built-in controller and encoder options, which reduces your cost, overall device footprint, and cable clutter. Don’t want the integrated controllers? We have versions compatible with our external controllers too. The choice is yours: enjoy complete automation through computer control, or use manual control Integrated motor, controller, and driver in a small package. Zaber devices are perfect for automating your positioning needs. Our free software allows you to send single commands or complex sequences. Most...

Customer Spotlight: SPhERe Laboratory SPhERe Laboratory at Georgia Tech The SPhERe Laboratory conducts fundamental combustion and spray research to enable improved combustion efficiency and reductions of pollutant emissions in direct-injection gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuel engines. They execute the work in a unique, tightly-coupled experimental and model-based approach, integrating projects that apply advanced laser diagnostics to probe in-cylinder mixing and combustion processes with projects that utilize these measurements to validate and improve engine CFD models. Following this approach,...

Linear Motion

X-NA-E Micro Linear Actuators • Built-in controller and optional motor encoder X-NA-E Micro Linear Actuators • Excellent thrust, speed, and accuracy Product Description Computer Control Zaber’s X-NA-E linear actuators are computer controlled and offer 0.05 µm resolution, with either 25 mm or 50 mm travel. Each actuator comes with a hardened ball tip that you can remove if you prefer to use the built-in threaded tip or a flat tip. We provide free software so you can easily control your Zaber devices. Simply select the device you want to move, select a command (like “move rel” to move by a distance...
