(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 17, 2009 ) Pittsburgh - Aerotech, a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance motion control and positioning systems, announces its new line of nanopositioning stages. The Aerotech nano Motion Technology cross-roller bearing stages combine high speed, accuracy, resolution, repeatability, and reliability into a compact package with long travel. These nanopositioning stages exhibit superior motion control performance such as 5 g acceleration, 500 mm/s velocity, high load capacity, and standardized, universal base mounting patterns that allow use in a wide range of configurations.

nano Motion Technology nanopositioning stages utilize an advanced direct-drive technology, pioneered by Aerotech, to achieve the highest level of positioning performance. This direct-drive technology is non-cogging, noncontact, high speed, high resolution, and high-accuracy. The unique drive and bearing combination, packaged in an extremely small-profile and footprint, offers tangible advantages in applications such as high-precision positioning, disk-drive fabrication, fiber alignment, optical delay element actuation, sensor testing, and scanning processes that demand smooth and precise motion. The integrated cable management system is designed for long life and to minimize drag forces.

Aerotech manufactures motion control systems providing the highest accuracy and throughput, starting with their best-in-class components that comprise the foundation of each Aerotech motion control system. With a history of delivering the lowest cost of ownership and the best return on investment, it’s no wonder that the company has led the motion control industry for over 35 years.

When customers visit the Aerotech.com website they will find motion control solutions to fit most any requirement. The Aerotech product line includes precision linear and rotary positioning mechanics, linear and PWM drives, linear motors, rotary motors, motion controllers, and more. Customers can access complete product descriptions, 2D and 3D CAD drawings, manuals, and can request a product quote on the Aerotech.com site.
