FB050 Linear Stages

FB050 Series Linear Stages

The FB050 Series Linear Stages have a width of 50mm, and are offered with travel options of 20mm, 50mm or 75mm travel, with a choice of either Nanomotion's HR2 or HR4 motors. 

The FB050 Series stages offer compact stage design with low profile, direct drive motor with simple, robust construction, a linear encoder mounted in the center for optimum positioning, easy configuration to multi-axis, and a wide range of motor sizes.
