Series High Precision Linear Stage ETH10 Belt Driven Actuator
ETH10 Series Belt Driven Linear Stage
ETH10 is a belt driven linear axis designed for automation equipment that requires high travel speed with reliable micron-level positioning. It is commonly installed in pick-and-place systems, light gantry structures, and inspection equipment where space and cycle time are both critical.
Basic Specifications
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Drive Type | Belt driven (steel-reinforced, spring-tensioned) |
| Repeatability | ±0.01 mm (under standard test conditions) |
| Max Speed | 1000 mm/s |
| Stroke Range | 100 – 1050 mm (custom lengths available on request) |
| Max Horizontal Load | 30 kg (at 0.5 g acceleration) |
| Max Vertical Load | 10 kg (with brake option) |
| Motor Interface | AC servo (200W – 400W class, mounting bracket optional) |
Structure
The ETH10 uses an aluminum extrusion frame with integrated precision linear guide rails. The belt transmission system is mounted internally and driven by a servo motor through a pulley system. A spring-loaded tensioner automatically maintains belt preload, reducing the need for periodic manual adjustments in normal operation.
Typical Use Cases
- Pick and place automation
- Small gantry systems
- Laser cutting and marking equipment
- Inspection and testing systems
Selection Notes
Performance values may vary depending on motor selection, stroke length, and installation rigidity. For vertical applications, a brake system is recommended.
Belt vs. ball screw: At stroke lengths above 500 mm, the ETH10's belt drive delivers significantly higher speed than equivalent screw-driven axes with minimal maintenance, though ball screws remain preferred for extremely high thrust or ultra-low backlash (< ±0.005 mm) applications.
