Description
The LS65z.Lab.O/.R.NM Series Vertical Motion Stage is a compact, high-precision z-axis actuator designed for laboratory and research environments requiring ultra-fine vertical positioning. With a footprint of just 65 mm × 65 mm and a vertical height of 42.5 mm, this piezo-driven stage supports travel ranges up to 10 mm with impressive mini step sizes down to ~10 nm.
The system accommodates two sensor options: a resistive sensor (.R) for economic yet precise control (100–200 nm resolution), and an optical encoder (.O) offering sub-10 nm resolution (including options for 4.88 nm, 2.44 nm, or even 1 nm). Designed for low-noise operation, it features a quiet 20 kHz drive frequency and supports closed-loop control.
Constructed from non-magnetic and vacuum-compatible materials including ceramics, stainless steel, and aluminum, the LS65z.Lab series is also available in high vacuum (.HV) and ultra-high vacuum (.UHV) configurations. Standard shielded cable connectors and optional multi-axis stacking adapters ensure easy integration. Whether in microscopy, optics alignment, or material testing, this stage offers reliable, precise vertical motion in a compact, quiet, and customizable platform.
