The Primatics PCL65 Linear Stage is a cost-effective, high-performance positioning platform designed for engineers who require precision motion, high load capacity, and long travel lengths in a compact package. Built around a backlash-free precision-ground ball screw drivetrain, the PCL65 delivers smooth, repeatable motion for demanding industrial and scientific applications.
Available in travel lengths from 50 mm to 600 mm, the PCL65 accommodates applications ranging from precision assembly and inspection to material handling and automated manufacturing. Its rugged design supports loads up to 60 kg while maintaining exceptional positioning performance.
The standard NEMA 23 motor mount allows integration with a wide variety of servo and stepper motors, giving machine builders flexibility when selecting motion control components. The stage can operate as a standalone axis or be directly stacked into compact XY motion systems.
