A precision stage built for stable, repeatable positioning
The rotary stage provides ±1° limited-angle closed-loop positioning with 0.4 arcsecond resolution. It is intended for fine angular correction rather than continuous rotation.
Key benefits
- ±1° angular travel
- 0.4 arcsec encoder resolution
- ±0.4 arcsec repeatability
- 12°/s maximum speed
- 2 kg load capacity
- Direct drive without gear backlash
Where this stage fits
This stage provides fine, limited-angle orientation rather than continuous rotation. Its ±1° range is intended for trimming the angle of mirrors, detectors, samples and other components around a fixed mechanical axis.
Why Piezo LEGS® direct drive
Direct actuation removes a geared rotary transmission from the motion path. This avoids gear backlash and supports repeatable small-angle corrections. The integrated optical scale provides 0.4 arcsecond closed-loop resolution, and the stage can maintain its selected angular position without continuous motor power.
Small movement. Big impact.
When precision defines performance, every movement matters. Piezo LEGS® technology delivers direct, controlled motion without the complexity of conventional transmission mechanisms.

Find your fit.
Use this stage when the task is precision angular correction within ±1°, not continuous indexing or full rotation. Check payload mass, inertia, centre of gravity, applied moments and required angular speed against the complete application.
