The Akribis DGL series is a range of modular direct drive linear slides.The DGL utilises the Akribis range of ironless and iron core motors along with encoder feedback and dual linear bearing guides in an aluminium housing to form a compact, high performance stage.
The linear motors used in the DGL are the Akribis patented AUM series ironless linear motor or the AJM and AKM series iron core linear motor. 
The AUM linear motor is cogging free, lightweight, with zero attraction force allowing for precise position and velocity control applications such as scanning.
The AJM and AKM linear motors are iron core, suitable for point-to-point motion and provide a more cost-effective solution.
Whichever motor option you chose, excellent force to size ration and precise homing is standard.
