Available in two sizes &#8211; the MPS50GR and MPS75GR &#8211; they are engineered for both the confines and requirements of a laboratory setting as well as for 24\/7 industrial manufacturing. MPS-GR stages are ideal for optics, measurement, alignment, inspection and other demanding applications.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-3743\" src=\"http:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/rotation-stages.jpg\" alt=\"aerotech rotation stages\" width=\"434\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/rotation-stages.jpg 543w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/rotation-stages-149x99.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/rotation-stages-350x234.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Construction Features<\/strong><br \/>\nMPS-GR stages incorporate precision worm-gear drive and bearing components for accurate and repeatable positioning. They are available with DC servo or stepper motors and either a 20 mm (MPS50GR) or 30 mm (MPS75GR) clear aperture. The clear aperture allows the MPS-GR series to address applications requiring a through-hole or accommodations to mount an optic, including articulation of beam polarizing lenses, through-holes for cabling or air lines, or vision\/camera\/inspection applications. The DC servomotors for the MPS-GR stages are equipped with a square-wave rotary encoder and the MPS75GR includes a manual adjustment knob.<\/p>\n<p>The MPS-GR rotary stages provide performance of up to 80 arc seconds accuracy, 1 arc second resolution, 6 arc seconds repeatability and 180 degrees per second maximum speed. Top load capacity is 12 kg and tilt error motion is 40 arc seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vacuum and Mounting Options<\/strong><br \/>\nBoth stages are available with optional vacuum preparation to 10-6 torr including a vacuum-rated motor\/feedback connector. An optional breadboard mounting plate provides direct mounting to both English and metric optical tables and a Lens Mount Option (LMO) permits easy mounting of standard lenses over the stage aperture.<br \/>\nThe MPS50GR and MPS75GR are members of Aerotech\u2019s MPS (Miniature Positioning Stage) family of linear, rotary, goniometer and vertical-lift stages. It is easy to mount two or more stages together in numerous combinations using standardized mounting patterns with adapter plates and brackets. In addition, Aerotech manufactures a wide range of positioning stages, drives and controls to provide a fully integrated and optimized motion solution. We look forward to showing you how we provide a single source for all of your motion needs.<\/p>\n<p>Visit\u00a0<a title=\"aerotech website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/link\/redirector.php?url=http:\/\/www.aerotech.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.aerotech.com<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low profile and compact with clear aperture Precision worm-gear drive with DC servo or stepper motor Continuous 360 degree rotary positioning Graduated tabletop High-vacuum capable Aerotech\u2019s MPS-GR series rotary stages provide accurate, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3742,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[177,99,226],"class_list":["post-3738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-motion-control","tag-miniature","tag-nanopositioning-systems","tag-rotary-stage"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MPS-GR Miniature, Gear-Drive Rotary Stages for Tight Spaces - EXPO21XX.com NEWS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/miniature-gear-drive-rotary-stages-tight-spaces\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Patrik Wolters\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/miniature-gear-drive-rotary-stages-tight-spaces\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/miniature-gear-drive-rotary-stages-tight-spaces\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Patrik Wolters\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/37336dc63646742382d295ac34b6ab24\"},\"headline\":\"MPS-GR Miniature, Gear-Drive Rotary Stages for Tight Spaces\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-08-10T06:00:07+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/miniature-gear-drive-rotary-stages-tight-spaces\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":370,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/miniature-gear-drive-rotary-stages-tight-spaces\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.expo21xx.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/feat3.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"miniature\",\"nanopositioning systems\",\"rotary stage\"],\"articleSection\":[\"\u00bb Motion Control &amp;
