LS-100 Linear Stage
About the LS-100
The LS-100 Linear Microscope Stage is a compact, high-performance positioning solution designed for applications requiring precision motion over shorter travel ranges. Utilizing closed-loop DC servo control on the X, Y, and Z axes, the LS-100 delivers smooth, accurate positioning with micron-scale repeatability. Its wide dynamic speed range and adjustable trapezoidal motion profiles enable both rapid movement and fine control, while electronic torque limiting and Hall-effect sensors provide dependable built-in protection.
With a travel range of 100 mm and encoder resolution down to 5.6 nm, the LS-100 offers consistent, high-resolution performance in a compact footprint. Lead screw accuracy of 0.25 µm/mm ensures reliable positioning, while maximum speeds up to 5.5 mm/s (with fine pitch configuration) make it well suited for both precise alignment and faster scanning tasks. A maximum recommended load is 5kg each or 10 kg in tandem assuming the load is spread relatively uniformly.
Multiple lead screw pitch options allow users to optimize the stage for either speed or precision, from ultra-coarse configurations for rapid motion to fine pitches for enhanced control. Combined with smooth dual-range joystick operation, programmable motion patterns, and compatibility with simple serial commands or Micro-Manager, the LS-100 integrates easily into automated systems without requiring proprietary software.
