Mechanical Drawings of the
Rotation Stage
As is shown in the above drawing of the rotation
stage, the spacing and threading of the 37 mounting
holes in the stage differs between the
imperial (ELL8K) and metric (ELL8K/M) versions of
the stage. All other dimensions, including the 1.97"
(50.0 mm) diameter of the stage are the same for
both. The board is functionalized with four Ø0.17"
(Ø4.2 mm) through holes, which accept the included
6-32 x 1/4" (M3 x 6 mm) screws and are used to
attach the mounting brackets.

Travel is not limited.
Homing is performed using a combination of reflecting optical and magnetic sensors. For
details, please see the Operation tab or Sections 2.1 and 3.1.1 of the manual.

The rotation stage is mounted in the horizontal plane.
The rotation stage is not designed for continuous operation.
The number of revolutions is computed using a diameter of 53 mm, which includes the
thickness of the track.
