GSM-V1 Series: Low vacuum motorized goniometers
Vacuum compatible to 10-3 Torr
40 mm and 60 mm centre of rotation options allow for two axes of motion about a common centre of rotation
Crossed roller bearings for smooth motion and high stiffness
Designed for use with a X-MCB1 Series stepper motor controller or any 2-phase stepper motor controller
Only 7 feedthrough wires required to control these units
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 GSM-V1 Series devices are low-vacuum compatible, computer-controlled, motorized goniometers with a compact size.
Like all of Zaber's products, the GSM-V1 Series is designed to be very easy to set up and operate. If you are considering a multi-axis system, in the XY configuration, these stages are designed to stack with mounting alignment features in the stage top and base.
Thses 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).
