Linear Positioners - Overview
We are offering three lines of linear positioners.
|
Positioners from the SLC line are based on linear crossed-roller slides and they are therefore characterised by their high rigidity and straightness. They should be chosen for compact nanopositioning systems with or without sensor feedback. |

Positioners from the SL line are compact low-cost positioners that are based on linear ball slides. They are therefore well-suited for micro-positioning systems with a low cost-level, where absolute accuracy is not a critical issue. |
|
Positioners from the SLL line are based on recirculating ball slides. The small slide in combination with a long rail makes it an interesting solution for long range positioning within limited space and a cost effective micro- and nanopositioning system. |

The SLC line includes the SLC-17 and the SLC-24 series of linear positioners with a cross section of 17 x 8.5 mm² and 24 x 10.5 mm², respectively.
The SL-06 is our smallest open loop positioner with a cross section of 4.2 x 11 mm².
The SLL line includes linear positioners of the SLL-C12 series and the SLC-C42 series with a cross section of 27 x 13 mm², and 60 x 16 mm², respectively.
The main properties of the different linear positioner series are given in the following table.
