Linear Stage
Test Procedure

Reciprocate the stage with a load placed vertically on its upper surface,
and measure the state change at that time.

Test Conditions
Measurement Sample TSD-601
Load 100N
Procedure 13 mm × Both ways/sec
(continuous operation)
Operation Cycles (Distance) 10 million times (260km)

TSD series

After 10 million cycles of operation, the guide performance is stable without significant change in the stiffness, straightness, pitching, yawing, and running parallelism of the stage guide.
