LAB-S Square

For end-supported “span” applications or any application that requires uniform stiffness on every side of the carriage, with multiple face mounting options, choose ABTech’s ultra-precision LAB-S series of square air bearing stages. These slides are also commonly used in vertical orientation with internal weight for counterbalancing. Choose from 4 inch (100mm) or 7 inch (180mm) carriage widths and rail lengths up to 42 inches (1067mm) for extended travel.

LAB-S Linear Air Bearing SquareOPTIONS

Aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic or granite rails; aluminum or stainless steel carriages; vertical, horizontal or stacked configurations.

ACCESSORIES

High-resolution optical encoders (available with millions of counts per inch); direct drive brushless DC motors (with a wide range of motor, torque and load sizing); drive amplifiers and programmable controllers; end stops (fixed or pneumatic); bellows or solid way covers; cable management systems.

ACCURACY CLASSES

  • A1 Accuracy Class: 5.0 micro-inches/inch (0.125 microns/25mm)
  • A2 Accuracy Class: 15.0 micro-inches/inch (0.375 microns/25mm)
    Note: Granite rail options are offered with A2 accuracy only

APPLICATIONS

Indexing and translation, precision machining and grinding, research and measurement systems.

STANDARD MODELS

  • LAB-100S: 4” x 4" (100mm) wrap-around carriage (formerly Model #LAB-4S)
  • LAB-180S: 7” x 7"  (180mm) wrap-around carriage (formerly Model #LAB-7S)
