X-LRQ-E Series
Closed-loop stages with built-in stepper motors, motor encoders, and controllers
About This Series
Zaber's X-LRQ-E Series devices are computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with high stiffness, load, and lifetime capabilities in a compact size. Each device is available in either an inline or parallel drive configuration. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply. The built-in motor encoder allows closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. An optional indexed knob provides convenient manual control for versatile operation even without a computer.
These stages connect to the RS-232 port or USB port of any computer, and they can be daisy-chained with any other Zaber products. The daisy-chain also shares power, making it possible for multiple X-Series products to share a single power supply. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for secure connection between units.
At only 36 mm high, these stages are excellent for applications where a low profile is required. The X-LRQ-E's innovative design allows speeds up to 840 mm/s and loads up to 100 kg. Like all of Zaber's products, the X-LRQ-E Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and very easy to set up and operate. These stages 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.

Easy Set-Up
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 Zaber device to your computer via USB or RS-232 port.
- Connect the power supply to your Zaber device.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
