MicroE releases Mercury II 6000 encoders
The Mercury II 6000 series has the smallest sensor in its class - only 8.2mm high. Resolutions are programmable and range from 5μm to 1.2nm; accuracy is up to ±1μm; and the encoder output is digital. High short-range accuracy, up to ±20nm, provides smooth velocity control. The same sensor works with tape or glass scales, either linear or rotary. The small sensor, high performance, robustness, versatility and ease of use make the MII 6000 encoder series ideal for small stages, piezo motor systems, actuators, voice coil motors, systems with moveable optics, micromachining / nanomanufacturing, and many other applications.

Resolution: Programmable, 5μm to 1.2nm
Outputs: A-quad-B, Index, Dual Limits and Alarm; High Speed Serial Interface
Scales: Tape or Glass, Linear or Rotary
Vacuum Model: 10-8 torr, 150°C bake out

Bell-Everman announces the release of the ServoBelt rotary in a new smaller
50 mm. inner diameter version.

The latest addition to our ServoBelt Rotary (SBR) line will debut at the ATX West 2011 Show in Anaheim, Caifornia, February 8 – 11. The new SBR 50 packs all the advantages of the original SBR100into a smaller package that makes it a cost-effective alternative to direct-drive motors in precision, light-duty rotary positioning applications. The new SBR features a through hole of 50 mm, half that of the original SBR but still very large for its overall size. Like the larger SBR 100, which will also be on display at the show, the new model offers a geometric accuracy of 2.5μm TIR or better at any point on the stage and a resolution of 16 arc-sec with a repeatability of ±40 arc-sec. SBR 50 has a gear reduction of 2.68:1.
