Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new high-speed precision rotary positioning stage powered by a direct drive motor. Manufactured from high strength anodized aluminum the model DT 170-TLM offers a positioning accuracy of 0.005 degrees, repeatability of +/- 0.001 degrees and speeds up to 10 rps (revolutions per second).

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new dynamic high precision, stage, driven by a voice coil linear motor. The application is a proprietary bio-medical device used for cell manipulation and testing. With an overall foot print of just 80 mm wide, 50 mm high and 145 mm long, the compact table weighs just 1 kg. It is available with a choice of two travels, 5 mm or 7 mm. By incorporating a Renishaw linear scale, the stage has a standard resolution of 0.1 µm (micrometer), repeatability of 1 µm, and positioning accuracy of 3 µm. Other specifications are available. Typical speeds of 1 m/s and accelerations of 5 m/s2 are easily achieved.

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new high precision micro manipulator stage MT 105-50-LM. Manufactured from high strength anodized aluminum, the standard table offers a travel of 50 mm and offers a positional accuracy of 1µm (micrometer), straightness/flatness runout of +/- 1µm and repeatability of +/- 0.2 µm. With a sleek low profile design, it has a footprint of 105 mm x 151 mm, height of 25 mm and weighs only 1.0 kg. Features include: preloaded cross roller bearings, fixed stops and incremental linear encoder with 0.1 µm resolution. This product can be provided as a XY stage without adapter plate and can also be configured as a XYZ system with an optional bracket.

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new ultra compact precision positioning rotary stage. The model DT 180-SM offers a sleek design with an overall height of 63 mm and length of 310 mm. This rotary stage weighs only 6.2 kg, but can handle centric loads up to 300 Newtons. Driven by a stepper motor, the stages offers NEMA 23 flange, it has a positional accuracy of 0.1 degrees, repeatability of less than 0.05 degrees and surface run out of

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new ultra compact precision positioning rotary stage. The model DT 65-LM offers a sleek low profile design with an overall height of 25 mm and length of 105 mm. This rotary stage weighs only 0.35 kg, but can support loads up to 80 Newtons. Driven by a piezo linear motor, it has a positional accuracy of 0.015 degrees, repeatability of less than 0.003 degrees and a maximum surface run out of 20 µm. Speeds up to 360 degrees/sec and accelerations greater than 10000 degrees/sec² are easily achieved.

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced today a new option to its standard line of precision ball screw products – hybrid ball screws using ceramic rolling elements. By using balls manufactured from silicon nitride instead of tool steel, Steinmeyer is able to eliminate micro-welding in the ball nut. The major benefits include longer lifetime, lower friction and less lubricant required.

Steinmeyer announced an innovative, cost effective decoupling arrangement for ball screw drives that enables our standard PMT 160 series stages to achieve breakthrough performance – namely straightness and flatness runout of 50 nanometers or less! And we do it using mechanical cross roller bearings instead of large and expensive air bearings. The decoupling system isolates any transverse movement of the ball screw from the linear bearing system and saddle of the stage.

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new high precision line of aerospace grade ball screws. Available in several diameters ranging from an incredibly tiny 3 mm to a much larger 100 mm, these aerospace screws are all manufactured from certified materials. Used in aerospace actuators around the globe, our ball screws offer internal ball return for smooth motion, higher speeds and very compact nut bodies. And they are all capable of back driving. Custom configurations are available as well.

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new high precision XY linear stage model KT 310 – 210 – DC.
