LG Motion launch new manual and motorised rotary table range

The LGR range covers 5 models with nominal outside diameter from 82 mm to 250 mm and a clear aperture (to 110 mm diameter on the largest model) to take care of electrical wiring, beamlines or mounted equipment such as optical components and slip ring assemblies.

The smaller LGR0300 and 0400 stages include fine handwheel driven adjustment with a vernier scale for a positioning resolution to within 6 arc-min and loads up to 5 kg. A clamping device is available to lock the turntable. The low-profile aluminium design is supplied with a durable black anodised finish with a selection of base and tabletop M4 or M5 tapped interfacing holes.

The LGR1000, 2000 and 3000 series rotary tables are available in a choice of handwheel driven and motorised versions with nominal outside diameters of 88 mm, 132 mm and 250 mm and direct load capacity of 10 kg, 50 kg and 500 kg. Each model includes a standard positioning accuracy to <0.1 degrees and repeatability to <0.01 degrees (LGR2000). Stepper motors or brushed/brushless servo motor drives with optional high resolution encoders are available along with an inductive datum sensor. The robust and durable design includes a high specification main bearing and thrust race combined with a smooth 90:1 ratio precision worm and wheel assembly. Customisation options include directly mounted encoders, hard stops, work holding fixtures and other specialised components.

All stages are available with adapter plates for use in multi-axis set-ups with other rotary stages, or with LG Motion’s comprehensive range of linear positioning stages. LG Motion supports the range with a broad selection of motion control and drive technologies.
