M-UTM50PP1HL In Stock

The M-UTM50PP1HL by Newport is a Mid-Range Travel Translation Stage designed to deliver precise movement control. Employing a modular design, this translation stage is purposefully optimized for mini-step motor drive functionality. The integration of a stepper motor empowers electronic signals to correspond with fractional physical advancements of the motor. One electronic pulse aligns with a portion of a full step, and within this mechanism, each mini-step of the stage corresponds precisely to 1/10 of a full step. Constructed from robust steel, the M-UTM50PP1HL boasts preloaded ball bearing slides that facilitate smooth and consistent movement. The inclusion of a backlash-compensated leadscrew further enhances its operational prowess, ensuring optimal performance across medium travel ranges.

A notable safety feature of the M-UTM50PP1HL is its incorporation of mechanical limit switches directly into the stage's design. This strategic addition serves to safeguard the bearings from inadvertent overtravel-induced damage. Moreover, the translation stage offers the convenience of a center home position, allowing it to be swiftly returned to a reference point in the middle of its travel. This home position can be established at either extremity of the stage's range using an external switch thoughtfully located on the stage's body. Positional accuracy is a hallmark of the M-UTM50PP1HL, with its 2000 points per revolution (pts/rev) encoder seamlessly integrated with the motor shaft. For manual control, a knurled knob is thoughtfully incorporated. Furthermore, this translation stage exhibits compatibility with MotionMaster controllers, effectively harnessed through a 3-meter cable.
