X-RSW-E Series: Motorized rotary stages with built-in controllers and motor encoders
Worm gear driven for continuous rotation
Two lens holders allow for use as a polarizer mount
Speed up to 75 rpm and torque up to 2.25 N⋅m
Encoder position feedback with slip/stall detection and automatic recovery
Built-in controller; daisy-chains with other Zaber products
Multiple X-Series products in a daisy-chain can share a single power supply
Zaber's X-RSW-E Series products are computer controlled motorized rotary stages with integrated controllers and motor encoders. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24-48 V power supply.
Built-in motor encoders allow for closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. An indexed knob provides smooth manual control at variable speeds in both directions for versatile operation even without a computer. Press and hold to switch between velocity mode and distance mode, turn to move the stage, and press to stop.
The stages connect to the USB 2.0 or RS-232 port of any computer and can be chained with several units per chain. They can also be chained with any other Zaber products. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for easy and secure connection between products. The chain also shares power, so multiple X-Series products can use a single power supply.
Zaber's positioners with built-in controllers, stand-alone controllers, and joysticks are divided into three series: the T-Series, the A-Series, and the X-Series.

Specification Charts and Notes
Thrust or torque is a function of speed. The values given above are maximums. These values cannot both be achieved simultaneously (i.e. at maximum speed, the unit will not produce maximum thrust).
