About This Series
Zaber's LHM-E Series devices are encoder-equipped motorized linear stages with a compact size and affordable price tag. They are designed to be used with our X-MCB1 controller, or with any 2-phase stepper motor controller.
At only 23 mm high, these miniature plain bearing stages are excellent for applications where a small profile is required. Carriage pre-load can be easily adjusted to compensate for wear over the lifetime of the stage.
For applications requiring more precise motion or high stiffness in multi-axis assemblies, please contact us or see our Product Overview page for the variety of stages we offer.

Easy Set-Up
Zaber's devices can share both data and power through a daisy-chain, which reduces cabling and makes set-up as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Connect the controller to your computer via USB or RS-232 port.
- Connect the controller to the peripheral and plug in the power supply.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.

For more details on daisy-chaining, read our technical article, "Daisy-chaining Data and Power to Reduce Cabling", or to determine which accessories you need for your system, try our Connection Guide Tool.
