Gimbal Stages
- Our gimbal stages and gimbal mounts include built-in controllers & slip ring for effortless cable management
- Motor encoders provide slip/stall detection and recovery; or direct encoders add high accuracy, closed loop servo positioning
- Speed up to 24°/s; max torque 10 N⋅m; max payload 15 kg
A motorized gimbal stage or gimbal mount is a device that precisely controls angular position of a mounted object around one or more axes in free space.
We define a "gimbal mount" as a device designed for mounting an optical component like a mirror or camera, while we define a "gimbal stage" as a device for more universal applications.
Zaber offers a wide selection of standard and customized motorized gimbal mount and gimbal stage products.
