SCHNEEBERGER Miniscale, miniature guideway with integrated measuring system MINI-X comprises the newest generation of miniature guideways for application in high-tech fields. The following are part of the MINI-X range: MINISCALE the integrated linear measuring system, MINIRAIL miniature profiled linear guideways and the MINISLIDE micro-frictionless table. Miniature guideway with integrated measuring system -- "all in one" MINISCALE is based on the proven miniature guideway MINIRAIL. Consequently, the guidance-technical specifications of MINISCALE also comply with MINIRAIL. The range includes eight rail widths which can be combined with up to four carriage sizes. NEW: short carriage version (Order code MNNS SC). The best choice for restricted installation space. Specifications Resolution 1 μm Accuracy up to 30 mm = +/- 4 μm (+/- 3 μm upon request) up to 1000 mm = +/- 10 μm Repeat accuracy unidirectional = +/- 1 μm bidirectional = +/- 2 μm Measuring scale diffraction grating 40 μm max. length 1000 mm (the maximum length depends in the width of the respective rail) Rail width in mm 7, 9, 12, 15 and 14, 18, 24, 42 quality classification G1 preload classification V1 max. length 1000 mm (the maximum length depends in the width of the respective rail) Speed max. 5 m/s Acceleration max. 300 m/s² (30 g) Sensor lifetime 100'000 h MTTF (mean time to failure) Electrical connection 5 VDC +/- 5 % @20 mA Output signal CMOS/TTL (RS-422 compatible) Interface flexible PCB with 10-pin ZIF-connector (1 mm grating pitch).
