Part Number Configuration 
 
The part number for the Microstage MS028 is determined as follows: 
 
Mounting the MS028 
 
Threaded mounting holes are located on the underside of the housing.  The holes for the 
MS028 are 4-40 UNC with a .125” depth.  Generally it is best to have through holes matching 
the pattern of the mounting holes in the surface to which it is to be secured such that 4-40 
screws pass through the surface and into the threads in the housing of this manual...

Step Motor Information 
 
The standard motor which comes with the MS028 is a 1.8° hybrid step motor with four leads.  
This motor can be connected to all bipolar step motor driver/controller.  Full torque will be 
available from the motor when used with a drive which has a rated output with at least .67 amps 
per phase.  Here are the ratings for the standard MS028 step motor:

Limit Switch Information 
 
If your MS028 has the optional limit switches they will be mounted on the side of the stage 
housing and are adjustable.  Depending on the driver used the limit switches can be configured 
as end-of-travel limits and/or one of them can be configured as a home switch. 
The limits are SUNX model PM-L24, an infrared U-channel switch which is interrupted by a flag 
mounted to the moving carriage of the MS028.  The output of the switches is NPN open-...

Generally, Output 2 will be used because the switch output will then go ON when the flag 
interrupts the switch.  In addition, for safety the switch will appear triggered (shutting down 
travel) if there is a break in the wiring to the switch.
