Overview ABL/ABLH9000 Series Stage User's Manual
1.1. Standard Features
The ABL/ABLH9000 series stages all incorporate completely non-contact air bearing surfaces, linear
motors, and feedback devices to provide a maintenance free stage. There is no mechanical contact to wear
or require lubrication, making these stages ideal for clean room and medical applications.
The ABL/ABLH9000 incorporates an active preload on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The opposing
thin-film pressure maintains the bearing nominal gap tolerance. This design, in addition to the large air-bear-
ing surface that distributes the load over a large surface area, results in a stage with outstanding stiffness
that is ideal for heavy or offset loading.
The brushless linear motor uses an ironless forcer, which means there is zero cogging and no attractive
forces – resulting in unsurpassed smoothness of motion. This is especially useful in applications where
velocity control is important.
