Zaber Technologies Logo

 

  • 70 to 595 mm travel
  • Up to 2.0 m/s speed, 55 N thrust, and 20 kg load capacity
  • Encoder position feedback with slip/stall detection and automatic recovery
  • Includes rigid cover
  • Integrated recirculating ball bearing guide provides exceptional lifetime
  • Designed for use with an X-MCC Series stepper motor controller or any 2-phase stepper motor controller
  • With AutoDetect, the X-MCC controller configures its settings automatically for the connected peripheral

 

Features:

1. Built-in motor encoder allows for easy slip/stall detection and recovery.
2. Panel Mount DB15 with AutoDetect allows the BLQ-EC Series to be easily connected to an X-MCC Series controller and ready to use without additional user input.
3. High power, 200 step per revolution stepper motor, provides smooth and precise motion at up to 2.0 m/s.
4. Multiple travel lengths from 70 to 595 mm, with custom lengths available.
5. Stage top supports metric M6 threaded holes.
6. Rigid non-contact cover protects internal belt and bearings.

 

Zaber Technologies’ BLQ-EC Series products are computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with integrated stepper motors and motor encoders. These stages are capable of speeds up to 2.0 m/s and can easily be mounted in XY configuration without additional hardware. A rigid non-contact cover prevents the ingress of small objects. Some multi-axis configurations may require additional accessories; please contact Zaber Technologies Technical Support to ensure the correct ones are selected.

The built-in motor encoder allows for closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. The stages are designed to connect directly to our X-MCC Series universal motor controllers, or they can be used with any 2-phase stepper motor controller through the panel mount DB15 connector. Set up is easy with AutoDetect. Once connected, the X-MCC controller will automatically detect and configure the BLQ-EC.
