About This Series

Zaber's LHM-E Series devices are encoder-equipped motorized linear stages with a compact size and affordable price tag. The stages are designed to connect directly to our X-MCC Series universal motor controllers, or they can be used with any 2-phase stepper motor controller through the panel mount DB15 connector. Set up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the LHM-E.

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.

  1. Built-in motor encoder allows for easy slip/stall detection and recovery.
  2. Panel Mount DB15 with AutoDetect allows the LHM-E to be easily connected to an X-MCC Series controller and ready to use without additional user input.
  3. Only 23 mm high and designed to fit in low profile applications.
  4. 200 step per revolution stepper motor with 200 CPR motor encoder.
  5. Mount to the stage top using 4 x M3 threaded holes.
  6. LHM-E stages are available in a variety of travel lengths.
  7. LHM-E stages can be assembled in XY or XYZ configuration without additional hardware.

Easy Set-Up

With AutoDetect, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the peripheral. 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:

  1. Connect the X-MCC controller to your computer.
  2. Connect the controller to the peripheral and plug in the power supply.
  3. Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
