Prevent dust from circulating while precisely positioning parts for drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring. These slides have a built-in vacuum port to remove fine particles that could damage electronics or contaminate batches in clean rooms. Because they have an integrated stepper motor with an included controller, you can adjust the speed, timing, and positioning with no extra software required. At ± 0.02 mm, these slides have a repeatability thinner than a single sheet of paper, so the carriage hits the same spot every time. Unlike air-powered actuators, they’ll hold their position even if power fails. They’re also more energy efficient.

Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.

Maximum speed is how fast the slide will move under no-load conditions. If you increase the load, the slide speed will decrease.

Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the slide’s positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.
