SLS Series
SmarAct SLS Series
Nanopositioning Toolbox for Lab and Industry
SmarAct‘s SLS series is a new range of positioners, accessories and tools that allows you to simply configure your system. The series consists of linear positioners as well as rotary positioners and goniometers to cover all demanding positioning tasks in your laboratory. Due to the consequent compatibility of the hole pattern you can combine different types of positioners and brackets to build multi-axis positioning systems. Adapters for standard metric SLS systems (M6 screws, 25 mm hole pattern or 25.4 mm hole pattern) extend the compatibility to the range of widely used optomechanical components. Different types of position sensors and controllers provide high-resolution closed-loop control from 1 nm to 100 nm. As always, we gladly help you to find the optimal solution.
Key Features:
Flexible application in lab and industrial environments

Accessories
The SLS series comes with a range of accessories like different baseplates or right-angle brackets that are necessary to build your own multi-axis system. With the Assembly Kit you get a complete set of screws and tools to combine linear and rotary positioner in a way your application requires. For higher vertical loads of up to 500g you can easily add a constant force spring.
