Product description
The Nano Stepper Actuator (NSAU) is a completely sealed linear actuator developed for highly accurate positioning in Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) or UItra Clean Environments. A stepper motor combined with a high quality reduction and ball screw offers backlash free nanometer resolution and high load capacity. Electrical limit switches and motor temperature sensing are standard integrated and the absolute encoder offers the user high resolution position feedback and absolute position information, even after a power-off.
