PI L-412, L-417 and V-417 Linear Stages Compared
PI L-412, L-417 and V-417 Linear Stages Compared
PI’s L-412, L-417 and V-417 stages address related industrial positioning tasks through different frame sizes and drive architectures. L-412 uses a 116 mm-wide ballscrew platform, while L-417 and V-417 use a wider 166 mm class. L stages use rotary servo/ballscrew transmission; V-417 applies ironless magnetic direct drive. These differences determine selection and replacement compatibility.
Review Summary
Consider the screw-driven L models for the required force/speed duty and the V-417 for smooth direct-drive scanning. Compare actual load-side performance and installed cost. The stage’s supported load is not its available horizontal drive force, and a direct motor does not remove friction from the rolling guides.
