The PSG8S-400W is a compact, high-rigidity single-axis linear module designed for precision positioning applications where space is limited but accuracy and thrust cannot be compromised. It features a φ16 mm C7 precision ball screw with a 5 mm lead, driven by a 400 W AC servo motor, delivering a rated thrust of 1388 N and ±0.01 mm repeatability. With a maximum stroke of 450 mm and support for dual-carriage configurations, it is ideal for inspection, assembly, and light-duty CNC machining where short travel and high stiffness are required.

The PSG8S-400W is engineered for applications that prioritize stiffness and accuracy over travel length. Its compact extrusion profile (width: 80 mm) reduces the overall system footprint while maintaining a wide carriage base that resists moment loads in pitch and yaw directions — critical for single-axis cantilever setups or as a Z-axis in gantry systems.
The 5 mm lead ball screw is paired with a double-nut preload mechanism that eliminates backlash and ensures bidirectional positioning within ±0.01 mm. The motor mounting bracket is designed for quick field reconfiguration (left, right, bottom, or exposed) without disassembling the main structure, enabling the stage to adapt to various machine orientations. Optional dual-carriage configurations increase load capacity and rigidity for applications requiring heavy payloads or extended tooling.
The PSG8S-400W model code follows the structure below:
PSG8S - 400W - 100 - BC - C4 - M-3M │ │ │ │ │ └── Motor: M-3M (Mitsubishi, 3m cable) │ │ │ │ └──────── Sensors: C4 (Home + 2 limits) │ │ │ └───────────── Motor position: BC (exposed) │ │ └─────────────────── Stroke: 100mm │ └───────────────────────── Motor output: 400W └────────────────────────────────── Model: PSG8S
Motor position options: BC (exposed), BL (left folded), BR (right folded), BM (bottom folded).
Sensor options: C (home only), C4 (home + 2 limits), E (no sensor).
Motor brand codes: M (Mitsubishi), P (Panasonic), T (Delta), Y (Yaskawa).
Carriage options: Single (standard) or Dual (add "-D" suffix for dual carriage).
For automation engineers designing compact workstations or gantry Z-axes, the PSG8S-400W offers a stiffness-to-footprint ratio that is difficult to achieve with larger-profile stages. Its 80 mm width and short carriage length allow dense packaging in multi-axis systems, while the 5 mm lead and 400 W servo deliver a high thrust density (1388 N) — essential for applications that require both pushing force and positional stability, such as press-fit assembly or precise dispensing.
Compared to larger stages like the PSG12 (which can reach longer strokes and higher speeds), the PSG8S is optimized for short-stroke, high-accuracy scenarios where deflection must be minimized. The dual-carriage option further enhances rigidity, making it suitable for carrying heavy tooling or multiple end-effectors without compromising the ±0.01 mm repeatability.
