Rotation Stage Bundle

Ideal for OEM Evaluation Testing

Easily Integrate into a Setup

Operate using Manual and/or Computer Control

Included Power Supply is Required for Powering

the Stage

The Rotation Stage Bundle is a complete package that includes the ELL8

rotation stage, which is also sold separately. The ELL8K package facilitates

quick integration of the rotation stage into laboratory setups and other

experimental applications. It also provides a convenient means to evaluate

incorporating this technology into OEM applications.

The tips of both motor housings are in firm contact with the rubber track

encircling the rotation stage, as can be seen in the image at the far-right. The motors are installed with opposite orientations and clockwise (and counterclockwise)

rotation occurs when one motor pushes the track forward while the other pulls it backward.

Metric and imperial versions of the Rotation Stage are offered individually to meet the needs of applications whose designs require multiple networked Elliptec

resonant motor products, or applications that do not require the other components included in the ELL8K(/M) bundles.

The ELL8(/M) rotation stage possesses a Ø50.0 mm top surface functionalized with 37 threaded holes [8-32 (M4) with 6 mm deep threads]. Details describing the

dimensions, including the spacing of the threaded holes, and other specifications of the stage are given in the 

Specs

 tab. Please contact us to discuss customizing

the rotation stage, or to arrange to purchase mounting brackets with the stage.
