3.2. Product Features
The A-110 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 A-110 incorporates opposing lateral
preload and magnetic vertical preload. The brushless linear motor uses an ironless motor coil, 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.
