Temperature / vacuum / use such as vibration environment

Usable temperature range

Is there a temperature range that can use the stage?

The use environment of the stage is as follows.
Operating environment: 10 to 50 ° C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)
Recommended operating environment: 22 ± 5 ° C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)

Use in environments other than the recommended operating environment (22 ± 5 degrees)

Can you use it other than the recommended usage environment (22 ± 5 degrees)?

It is possible to use.
However, thermal expansion and contraction occur in the temperature change.
It is recommended to use at a constant temperature if it is used for precise measurement.
If the temperature change is large, let the stage adapt to that temperature for several hours before using.

The use environment of the stage is as follows.
Operating environment: 10 to 50 ° C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)
Recommended operating environment: 22 ± 5 ° C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)

Availability in environments with severe temperature changes

Can you use it in the environment with temperature change?

It is possible to use.
However, thermal expansion and contraction occur in the temperature change.
It is recommended to use at a constant temperature if it is used for precise measurement.
If the temperature change is large, let the stage adapt to that temperature for several hours before using.
* We do not measure data for temperature change.

The use environment of the stage is as follows.
Operating environment: 10 to 50 ° C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)
Recommended operating environment: 22 ± 5 ° C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)

Unusable Environment (Unusable)

Is there an environment where you can not use the stage?

Please avoid using in the following places.
・ A place with a lot of dust and dust (especially metal powder)
・ A place exposed to direct sunlight and radiant heat
・ A place close to fire
・ A place where a corrosive gas or flammable gas is generated
・ A place with water or oil
・ A place where vibration or shock is transmitted
・ A place with lots of salt and organic solvents

Is there a vacuum compatible stage?

Is there a vacuum compatible stage?

There is no vacuum compatible stage.
However, we provide grease replacement with Solva Specialty Polymers Japan Inc.,
Grease for vacuum, Fomblin YVAC2
You can order with the option code by adding "-L" at the end of the model number.

■ Not applicable products:
Motorized goniometer stages, Morotized rotary stages, and Motorized horizontal Z-axis stages
are not compatible with grease replacement.

Can I use it in a clean room?

Is it possible to use it in a clean room?

Our stages are not for clean environment.
However, we provide grease replacement (1:THK company-Clean environment grease-AFF /
2:NSK company-Clean environment grease-LG2).
You can order with the option code by adding "-J" or "-K" at the end of the model number.

▼ CAVE-X (Linear Ball Guide) series and KXS (Slide Guide) series
Except for bearing part, clean environment grease (AFF) is used as standard.

■ Not applicable products:
Motorized goniometer stages, Motorized rotary stages, and Motorized horizontal Z-axis stages
are not compatible with grease replacement.

Availability in a humid environment

I want to use the stage in high humidity (70 to 90% etc.) to do environmental test.
Is it possible to use it?

When used at high humidity, rust may occur in the guide part.
Therefore, we do not recommend such use.
