ACTUATORS & STAGES

Browse our Actuators and Positioners: electric actuators, linear stages, precision stages, manual stages, and rotary stages for precise motion control in automation. Our portfolio supports high-precision applications across industries, emphasizing efficiency and accuracy. Ideal for engineering solutions requiring exact positioning.

ELECTRIC CYLINDERS

If you need miniature electric cylinder products with a range of configurable options for your application, take a look at the selection from Motion Plus. With up to 20 N thrust, these small cylinders integrate well with our drive, and control technologies and are designed for applications with very limited space conditions.

FOCAL ADJUST STAGES

The portfolio of focal adjust stages is ideally suited for positioning your optical lens. Motion Plus offers piezo nano-positioning stages which are great for microscope objective and optics positioning at a large stroke without sacrificing speed or nanometer-level performance. If you don't see what you need, please contact us for help finding the right solution.

GIMBALS & GONIOMETERS

Our selection of goniometers offer high-accuracy angular alignment of components, at great velocities or accelerations. These are ideal when testing or positioning optics and are designed to work well in laboratory or research environments as well as in a manufacturing environment. Piezo and direct drive options provide flexibility for your angular positioning needs.

MANUAL STAGES

Achieve precise linear or rotary adjustments with our selection of manual stages. Choose from micrometer or thumbscrew drives for smooth, controlled movement. Find stages with or without apertures to accommodate your optical components, as well as both English and metric versions for compatibility with your setup. Discover the ideal manual stage for your laboratory, prototyping, or alignment needs.

MINIATURE PRECISION STAGES

Positioners measuring under 100 mm (4 inches) wide fall into our miniature precision stages. These positioners include voice coil, piezo motor, linear motor and screw driven solutions. What does your application demand? This category offers low profile, smooth and stable motion, high speed, high blocking force and compatibility with a range of controllers.

PRECISION STAGES

Our precision stages include positioners greater than 100 mm (4 inches) in width with extremely precise positioning capabilities. These precision stages offer travel lengths up to 2 meters and some offer resolutions in the nanometer range. With high accuracy, open-frame options, as well as nanometer-level performance with outstanding performance characteristics – we have the high precision positioning system to improve your process performance.

INDUSTRIAL ACTUATORS & POSITIONERS

When you don’t need sub-micron precision, our industrial actuators & positioners are ideal. These linear actuators are suitable for pick-and-place machines, shuttle stages, assembly machines, gantries, or general automation. Our industrial actuators can even replace pneumatic solutions when you need to increase efficiency or positional repeatability. Featuring our Motus 1.

ROTARY STAGES & POSITIONERS

Offering a wide array of rotary positioners, Motion Plus has the solution optimized for your application. With direct drive options, piezo-driven solutions, and worm-driven solutions, we have a breadth of rotary products which are designed for your application. Our rotary products include apertures or solid top surfaces and numerous options to help optimize your application.

SCANNING STAGES

These Single Axis Scanning Systems are designed to provide a single axis of linear motion mounted underneath a fixed sensor. By moving the sample underneath the sensor this system enables much greater total profile coverage. These plug and play solutions offer users a simple integrated package that ties the motion controller into the sensor controller enabling seamless operation.

VERTICAL LIFT STAGES

From piezo flexures through direct-drive to worm-driven solutions, we have a wide array of vertical lift stages. These stages offer lift distances from microns through millimeters to provide just the travel you need, best-fit for your process. Motion Plus vertical lift stages offer high-performance elevation motion with compact, cost-effective designs.
