LRQ-DEC Series
High precision linear stages with built-in linear encoders and dust covers
About This Series
Zaber's LRQ-DEC Series products are computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with high stiffness, load, and lifetime capabilities in a compact size. An integrated linear encoder combined with stage calibration provides high accuracy positioning over the full travel of the device. A flexible stainless steel dust cover prevents the ingress of small objects. At only 48 mm high, these stages are excellent for applications where a low profile is required. These stages are capable of speeds up to 270 mm/s, and can bolt together into XY and XYZ systems. Some multi axis configurations may require additional accessories, please contact Zaber Technical Support to ensure the correct ones are selected. Each device is available in either an inline or parallel drive configuration.
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 DB26 connector. Set up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the LRQ-DEC.
- Inline and parallel drive configurations.
- Panel Mount DB26 with AutoDetect allows the LRQ-DEC to be easily connected to an X-MCC Series controller and ready to use without additional user input.
- Stage top supports Metric M3 and M6 threaded holes.
- Flexible stainless steel dust cover protects internal lead screw and bearings.
- Integrated linear encoder with 50 nm resolution and stage calibration provides full travel accuracy up to 10 µm.
- Travel lengths from 75 to 600 mm, with custom lengths available.
- 200 step per revolution stepper motor.
- LRQ-DEC stages can be assembled in XY.
- Lead screw and ball screw configurations.
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:
- Connect the X-MCC controller to your computer.
- 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.
