About This Series

Zaber's RST-AE Series products are motorized rotation stage devices with built-in direct reading encoders for high accuracy motion. Rated for a 300 kg centered load capacity and 70 N⋅m of torque, they are ideal for high load, high precision, angular positioning applications. They have a large diameter 101.6 mm (4") aperture for a variety of thru-bore applications.

RST-AE stages are designed for plug-and-play use with any of Zaber's controllers. Set up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the RST-AE.

  2. High rotational accuracy obtained with direct reading encoder with 0.14 arc sec resolution.
  3. 200 step per revolution stepper motor, microstepped up to 256x provides smooth and precise motion.
  4. 101.6 mm (4") aperture with H7 tolerance.
  5. Stage top supports M6 threaded holes with stainless steel thread inserts for added reliability.
  6. Holes on bottom and sides provide flexible mounting options.

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.
