Steinmeyer Inc. announced an ultra-compact precision positioning rotary stage. The model DT 65-LM offers a low-profile design with an overall height of 25 mm and length of 105 mm. This rotary stage weighs only 0.35 kg but can support loads up to 80 Newtons. Driven by a piezo linear motor, it has a positional accuracy of 0.015º, repeatability of less than 0.003º and a maximum surface run out of 20 µm.

It can hit speeds up to 360º/sec and accelerations greater than 10,000º/sec².

The rotary stage is made from a low-distortion aluminum alloy and is black anodized. The stage is available with a direct reading incremental angular encoder with 3,600 lines yielding a resolution up to 409,600 counts per 360 degrees. Options include 10-mm diameter center aperture, clean room and vacuum compatibility, and different encoder resolutions.

The DT 65-LM Rotary Stage works well in applications for medical and life sciences, semiconductor, fiber optic, optical, laser systems, and miniature-robotics industries.
