Page 3: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction The ELL7 Linear Translation Stage is part of the Thorlabs series of resonant piezo motor circuits and bare modules for OEM applications. The resonant piezo design of these motors offers fast response times and precise positioning, and therefore they are particularly useful in scanning applications. -

ELL7K Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 3: Description Chapter 3 Description 3.1. Environmental Conditions Warning Operation outside the following environmental limits may adversely affect operator safety. Location Indoor use only Maximum altitude 2000 m Temperature range 15°C to 40°C Maximum Humidity Less than 80% RH (non-condensing) at 31°C To ensure reliable operation the unit should not be exposed to corrosive agents or excessive moisture, heat or dust. -
Page 6: Mounting
– see Figure 2. The stage can be mounted vertically, as long as the resulting motion is in the horizontal plane. The stage should not be mounted such that motion is vertical.

Page 13: Frequency Search
ELL7K Linear Stage Evaluation Kit Chapter 4: Operation 4.3. Frequency Search Due to load, build tolerances and other mechanical variances, the default resonating frequency of a particular motor may not be that which delivers best performance. A frequency search can be performed using the Main GUI panel in the ELLO software, or by using the serial communication line (SEARCHFREQ_MOTORX message), which offers a way to optimize the operating frequencies for backward and forward movement. -
