Motorized Linear Stage: The BX - Series

The BX - series offers motorized linear stages with high repeatability (down to ± 0.25 µm) for precise positioning tasks in industry, research and automation.

Depending on the application, variants with ball guides (BXS) for short travel distances and with recirculating ball guides (BXN) for longer travel distances are available. Thanks to various control variants (open/closed loop, RS-485, Ethernet, EtherCAT), the BX series can be flexibly integrated into different control environments.

High Precision
± 0.5 µm repeatability
± 0.25 µm with Ezi-SERVO

Monoblock Design
Stainless steel bodywith integrated guidings for a hight thermal stability

Flexible Steuerung
as open loop / closed loop with various interfaces (RS-485/USB, EtherCAT, Ethernet)

BXS

Travel: 20 mm - 50 mm
With short travel distances and ball guidings, this table is perfect for compact applications.

BXN

Travel: 50 mm - 300 mm
Offers long travel distances and a recirculating ball bearing guide for maximum precision for larger movement requirements.
