• Automate Manual Stage Drives
• No Separate Controller Board or Driver Required
• 0.1μm Resolution
Linear Actuators from Zaber Technologies Inc, Canada are easy-to-install,
computer-controlled units with built-in controller circuitry. Linear Actuators
feature 6-pin mini-DIN cables that allow for up to 254 actuators to be
daisy-chained to a single RS-232 serial port. These units also feature an
industry standard 3/8" mounting shank that can fit most common stages.
When power is not being applied, the actuators will remain in their position.
If idling, power to the motor is automatically removed so that the actuators
remain cool. Additionally, the leadscrew does not rotate, preventing
torque from being transmitted to the stage. Note: A 6ft. data cable,
RS-232 adapter, and 15V universal power supply are sold separately as
accessories (#58-678 recommended power supply). A 2.1mm power plug
accessory can also be used to adapt any 15V DC power source.

Linear Actuators
High Accuracy Linear Actuators
• Miniature, Robust Design
• Integrated Motor and Controller
• Controlled Manually or via RS-232 Serial Interface
High Accuracy Linear Actuators from Zaber Technologies Inc, Canada
feature 50nm resolution with up to 50mm travel distance. These computer
controlled, self-contained linear actuators include a stepper motor and
a built-in controller that can connect directly a computer’s RS-232 port
while requiring only the included 15V power supply. High Accuracy Linear
Actuators also feature an industry standard 3/8” shank that fits most
common stages. The actuator shaft does not rotate and will not transmit
any torque to the translation stage. When used manually, the actuator can
be monitored using a computer if needed. Note: Each unit includes a
15V universal power supply, 6ft. data cable, RS-232 adapter, and software.

Programmable Joystick Controller
• Control up to 3 Independent Axes
• Intuitive Interface with Computer-Driven or Manual Operation
• Fully Programmable Buttons, Velocity Profile, and Sensitivity
The Programmable Joystick Controller from Zaber Technologies Inc, Canada can be connected in series for up to three
independent motors. In standalone operation, the Programmable Joystick Cotroller is ideal for simple, two to three axis
movement, and is aided by key switches that are preprogrammed with commands to home, save current position, and
go to saved position. All eight key switches are fully programmable to send any arbitrary command to each axis or to
trigger the computer to send command sequences. The analog axis settings include programmable velocity, velocity
profile, invert, and unit number, and calibration for the limits and deadband. Note: 24-48V DC power supply and data
cables sold separately.
