(Discontinued) LHM-E Series

Economy motorized linear stage with built-in motor encoders

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.

  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.
