Nippon Pulse August 2011 Newsletter

Nippon Pulse’s SLP Acculine stage series is an all-inclusive solution that integrates shaft support within the housing, simplifying your transition from traditional linear motion systems, including ball-screws and pneumatic actuators. Because it is an all-inclusive stage, the SLP series vastly simplifies and eases installation and reduces the amount of machining you’ll be required to perform.

Because the SLP series is built around Nippon Pulse’s high-precision Linear Shaft Motor, this actuator minimizes unusable support space and maximizes the usable travel area. The SLP series also features the smallest deadzone of any linear stage on the market and features the highest force-to-volume ratio of any linear stage system available.

Again, because the SLP series is designed around the Linear Shaft Motor, the stage has very few maintenance demands. As is the case with any linear motion system, you need to ensure that the built-in bearings are free of foreign material.
