MTN Series High Load Capacity Steel DC Motor Linear Translation Stages

MTN linear stages are durable, all-steel construction positioners with exceptional load capacity, stiffness and thermal stability. They are designed for applicatons that require moving heavy loads with sub-micron precision over 100-, 200- or 300-mm travel ranges. These stages feature closed-loop DC or brushless DC motor drive systems, making them ideal for applications that need faster speeds or higher repeatability.

100 kg load and high axial load capacity up to 200 N
All steel construction offers high stiffness and thermal stability
Backlash-compensated, diamond-corrected leadscrew produces accurate linear motion, even for vertical applications
Plug and Play - ESP compatible

Features

All Steel Stage Body

The all steel construction allows for extreme stiffness and thermal stability. Because the entire body is made from steel, bi-metallic bending effects and errors are eliminated. Among the all steel linear stages, the MTN boasts the highest load capacity at 100 kg.

Closed-Loop DC Motor Drive

DC Motors are best characterized by their high speeds, smooth motion, good efficiency and a high power/weight ratio. An incremental sensor consisting of an optical scale and encoder head provides position feedback for smooth motion and good repeatability. DC Motor-driven stages are preferable to stepper motor stages for applications requiring high dynamic speed and tight repeatability. MTN series is available in brushless DC motor version for faster speed and finer repeatability and stepper motor version for a more economical solution.

Diamond-Corrected Lead Screw and Precision-Lapped Nut

Recirculating ball bearings ensure better dynamics and lifetime, as well as equal axial load capacity in both directions.

Non-migrating Ball Cage Design

The non-migrating ball cage design eliminates cage drift, particularly in vertical applications, to enhance reliability.

Multi-Axis Stage Stacks and Table Mounting

For XY configurations of MTN stages, use the captive screws. The same screws can also be used for bolting MTN stages directly to custom mounting surfaces via thru-holes at the carriage. For mounting MTN stages to optical tables, please use the base plate.

Individual Stage Metrology Report is Included

Newport guarantees specification values which are measured and recorded following ASME B5.57 and ISO 230-2 standards. The typical performance values are two times better than the guaranteed specifications.

MTN Motor Options

MTN Series stages are available with Stepper, DC, or Brushless DC motors.

Stepper Motor (MTN-PP): Stepper Motors are a lower cost alternative to DC motor systems for less demanding applications. Micro-stepping is used to improve resolution and smoothness of motion.
DC Motor (MTN-CC): DC Motors are best characterized by their high speeds, smooth motion, good efficiency and a high power/weight ratio. They are preferable to stepper motor stages for applications requiring high dynamic speed and tight repeatability.
Brushless DC Motor (MTN-BLHS): Brushless DC Motors offer faster speed and finer repeatability than standard DC motors. They are designed for applications that require moving heavy loads with high speed and repeatability
