LSQ-EC Series
High-speed motorized linear stages with built-in motor encoders and covers
About This Series
Zaber's LSQ-EC Series products are computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with integrated stepper motors and motor encoders. These stages are capable of speeds up to 1 m/s and can easily be mounted in XY or XYZ configuration without additional hardware. A rigid non-contact cover prevents the ingress of small objects. The built-in motor encoder allows for closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. 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 LSQ-EC.

- Built-in motor encoder allows for easy slip/stall detection and recovery.
- Panel Mount DB15 with AutoDetect allows the LSQ-EC to be easily connected to an X-MCC Series controller and ready to use without additional user input.
- 200 step per revolution stepper motor with 500 CPR rotary encoder.
- Stage top supports Metric M6 threaded holes.
- Integrated recirculating ball bearing guide provides exceptional lifetime.
- LSQ-EC slides are available in a variety of travel lengths and lead screw pitches
- LSQ-EC stages can be assembled in XY or XYZ configuration without additional hardware
- Rigid non-contact cover protects internal lead screw and bearings.
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.
