X-VSR-SV1 Series: Low vacuum vertical stages with built-in controllers
Vacuum compatible to 10-3 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 4 feedthrough wires required to control all units in the daisy-chain via serial port (with an X-PIB adaptor)
Built-in controller; daisy-chains with other Zaber products
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 X-VSR-SV1 Series devices are high-vacuum compatible, computer-controlled, motorized vertical lift stages capable of moving 10 kg loads. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply.
These stages connect to the RS-232 port or USB port of any computer, and they can be daisy-chained with any other Zaber products. The daisy-chain also shares power, making it possible for multiple X-Series products to share a single power supply.
Like all of Zaber's products, the X-VSR-SV1 Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and 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.
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).
