VSR-V2 Series: High vacuum vertical stages
Vacuum compatible to 10-6 Torr
20 mm or 40 mm travel
Up to 48 mm/s speed and up to 200 N thrust
10 kg load capacity
55 or 85 mm retracted height
Only 7 feedthrough wires required to control these units
Designed for use with a X-MCB1 Series stepper motor controller or any 2-phase stepper motor controller
For more information about the basics of a vacuum system and considerations to keep in mind when gathering requirements for your application, read our technical article, "Motion Device Design Considerations for Vacuum Applications".
Zaber's VSR-V2 Series devices are high-vacuum compatible, computer-controlled, motorized vertical lift stages capable of moving 10 kg loads.
Like all of Zaber's products, the VSR-V2 Series is designed to be very easy to set up and operate. If you are considering a multi-axis system, with Z-axis, these lift stages make an excellent platform.
These stages are wired with a male D-sub 15 connector for plug-and-play use with our X-MCB1 Series stepper motor controllers. Simply cut the connector off for flying leads in vacuum and match the wire connections outside of the vacuum for an easy connection. Our handy kits include free software, and all of the accessories that you will need to get the stage running right out of the box.

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).
