Z712B ThorLabs Motorized DC Servo Actuator

The Thorlabs Z700 Series Motorized DC Servo Actuator is designed for use in high precision applications. From drop-in replacements to custom mounts, these motorized actuators will satisfy even the most demanding requirements. Three different travel lengths are offered in two alternate versions: a 1/4"-80 and a 3/8". The threaded version, available in the 6 mm and 12 mm travel units, is designed for use in applications where a normal micrometer or adjustment screw threads into a mount and a 3/8" barreled version, available in the 12mm and 25 mm travel units, for applications where a setscrew is used to lock the micrometer in place.

The Z700 Series Motorized Actuators utilize a 12V DC servomotor that provides sufficient torque for high load capabilities. Utilizing a 256:1 gear reduction head, the actuators provide very small movements over the entire travel range, allowing greater flexibility with negligible backlash and fine resolution. The DC servomotor allows for continuously variable speeds while an optical encoder allows closed loop operation. The actuators use integrated hard stops that automatically cut the power when they have reached their mechanical limits. The Z700 Series Motorized Actuators are light, compact, and extremely durable. They are ideal for use in mirror mounts, translation stages, microscopes, OEM applications, and a wide variety of other components that require higher precision than most standard drive mechanisms allow.
