LRU-E Series
High Load, High Stiffness, Screw Drive Linear Stage with Optional Brakes
About This Series
Zaber's LRU-E Series are motorized linear stages with built-in motor encoders . They support up to 500 kg loads and output up to 2850 N of thrust while having long lifetime capabilities. An optional power-off brake is available to protect against backdriving and other unwanted motion in a power-off state. They provide a large stage top and footprint. These stages integrate well with the T-slot ecosystem. They also share mounting patterns with other Zaber devices for easily building XY systems, gantries, or gimbals. These mounting patterns also support popular third party cobot arms. Some multi-axis configurations may require additional accessories; please contact Zaber Technical Support to ensure the correct ones are selected.
The built-in motor encoder allows for closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. The stages are designed to connect directly to Zaber's X-MCC Series universal motor controllers, or they can be used with any high power 2-phase stepper motor controller. Set up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the LRU-E.
- Built-in motor encoder allows for easy slip/stall detection and recovery.
- 200 step per revolution stepper motor, microstepped up to 256x to provide smooth and precise motion.
- Travel lengths from 250 to 2000 mm, with custom lengths available
- Compact recirculating ball bearing design allows for high load capacity and torsional stiffness.
- Panel Mount DB and M12 connectors with AutoDetect allows the LRU-E to be easily connected to an X-MCC Series controller and ready to use without additional user input
- Rigid dust cover protects internal ball screw from debris and users from pinch hazards
- Multiple LRU-E stages can bolt together to make XY systems and have mounting provisions for other Zaber devices and popular third party cobot arms.
- Adjustable home position sensor and support for an away position sensor.
- Optional integrated power-off brake for vertical applications
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.
