Micro Controle Single Axis Linear Drive Stage Motorized Positioning Made in

Micro Controle Single Axis Linear Drive Stage Motorized Positioning Made in France

This is a single axis motorized linear drive stage made by Micro Controle, a French manufacturer known for precision positioning and motion control equipment. The unit consists of an aluminum-bodied linear slide with an integrated motor drive, a leadscrew protected by a bellows accordion boot, a carriage platform with tapped mounting holes, and a micrometer-graduated dial (0–24) for fine manual or reference positioning. A 25-pin D-sub connector cable attaches to the motor for controller interface. The base of the unit measures approximately 2 by 3.5 inches.

Applications

Micro Controle linear positioning stages are used in optical, photonics, and precision laboratory environments where repeatable single-axis linear motion is required. They are commonly found on optical tables and breadboards for aligning laser beams, fiber optics, sensors, and optical components, and are also used in semiconductor inspection, microscopy, and automated test setups. Micro Controle (now part of the Newport/MKS Instruments family) has been a well-regarded supplier of motion control and positioning hardware for research and instrumentation applications since the 1970s. Motorized stages like this one are typically driven by a compatible motion controller via the D-sub interface, allowing automated or computer-controlled positioning with micrometer-scale precision. They remain in active use in research labs, universities, and OEM instrumentation setups worldwide.
