MTN linear stages are durable, all-steel construction positioners with exceptional load capacity, stiffness and thermal stability. They are designed for applications that require moving heavy loads with sub-micron precision over 100-, 200- or 300-mm travel ranges. Stepper motors are a lower cost alternative to DC servo systems for less demanding applications. These stages feature micro-stepping to improve resolution and smoothness of motion. Run open-loop, position is attained by the number of commanded steps and micro-steps.

For less demanding applications, a stepper motor can be a more economical solution than a DC motor. A stepper motor operates using the basic principle of magnetic attraction and repulsion, converting digital pulses into mechanical shaft rotation. To improve the resolution and smoothness of motion, the MTN-PP and MTN-PPV6 feature micro-stepping, a method of electronically dividing a full-step of motion into a high number of partial steps.
MTN Series stages are available with Stepper, DC, or Brushless DC motors.

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.
Recirculating ball bearings ensure better dynamics and lifetime, as well as equal axial load capacity in both directions.
The non-migrating ball cage design eliminates cage drift, particularly in vertical applications, to enhance reliability.
The MTN-PPV6 are the vacuum compatible versions of the MTN stepper motor stage. They can be used in a vacuum environment down to 10-6 Torr. Their performance is the same as their corresponding MTN-PP stepper motor stage, except that the maximum speed is 20 mm/sec and centered load capacity is 100 N.

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.
