Positioning systems

Positioning systems

The comprehensive norelem product range includes a wide selection of positioning systems. Alongside the motorised positioning stages, norelem also has classic manual positioning systems

Exact positioning in tooling or handling systems is easily facilitated due to the virtually backlash-free guideway of the positioning stages. The slide can be adjusted without having to lock or loosen the spindle, thanks to the spindle being backlash-free. The radial play in the slide is less than 0.02 mm. Another big plus of the positioning stages is that the spindle is self-locking with an additional clamping function .

Application areas of the positioning systems

The norelem positioning systems can be used in machine and special machine construction, metrology, optical applications, many automation sectors, laboratories for creating test fixtures and model fabrication.

Material of the positioning systems

The bearing blocks and slides of norelem positioning stages are made of an aluminium alloy , which is then anodised. The guide columns and rolled thread spindles are produced from stainless steel. The slide is also fitted with a maintenance-free plain bearing in order to move it with as little resistance as possible. Plastic position indicators are offered in the online shop depending on the type of positioning stage.

Advantages of the positioning systems

Versions of the norelem positioning systems

In addition to conventional positioning stages, norelem offers technicians and designers positioning stages with integrated position indicators as an additional option. These indicate the position of the slide by means of a display with an accuracy of 0.1 mm. A position indicator can be attached to four different locations on the slide using a screw connection.

For automated applications, the positioning stages are also available with electric drive and integrated control .
