SMARSHIFT Technology

SMARSHIFT stages feature electromagnetic motors for industrial applications, laboratory automation and compact positioning solutions where high speed, force and nanometer-precise motion must be paired with high duty cycle and durability.

The electromagnetic drives enable speeds of up to 1 m/s. In addition, they are durable and virtually maintenance-free. SMARSHIFT positioning stages are designed to be as compact as possible, as well as to be mechanically and electrically intercompatible with SmarActs SMARSLIDE positioning systems. This compatibility allows not only the use of the modular system’s connecting elements but also side-by-side use with piezo-driven stages in multi-dimensional positioning systems.

Compact Design

SMARSHIFT stages tackle the limits of the trade-off between force and volume. The tables feature both compact size and long life.

Lifetime

Electromagnetic direct drives exhibit reduced wear compared to intertial drives. Following this, SMARSHIFT stages stand out with increased mileage, lifetime and duty cycle.

Customization

Due to the in-house development and manufacturing of all core components, SMARSHIFT stages and positioning systems can be adapted to your requirements within short time periods.

Dynamic Performance

SMARSHIFT stages provide increased force and allow for high accelerations and velocities respectively. They are therefore ideal for applications that require high dynamic performance.

Long Travel Range

The travel range of moving coil stages - such as the MLL series - are only limited to the variable magnet array length. Convenient cable management solutions empower your long travel application.
