KA Series
KA Series Ballscrew or Belt-Driven Single-Axis Stage
- Type
- Ballscrew or belt stage, linear guideway, aluminum U-base
- Frames
- 7 (KA090 - KA200, 90 - 200 mm wide)
- Drive
- Ballscrew, leads 5 - 25 mm; timing belt on 3 frames
- Strokes
- 50 - 1250 mm ballscrew; 200 - 3000 mm belt
The KA single axis stage is actuated by a motor-driven ballscrew or belt and is guided by a linear guideway. The base is made from lightweight aluminum. It is suitable for semiconductor and industrial automation applications.

Models
The model number is the base width in millimeters (a KA136 is 136 mm wide), and a B suffix is the timing-belt build of the same frame, for horizontal use only. Where a frame offers several leads, paired values read in lead order: the KA136 carries 95 kg at the 5 mm lead, 75 kg at 10 mm and 40 kg at 20 mm. Belt rows list the pulley perimeter in place of a lead.
