Using This Manual 
 
The MS028 Series are small packaged positioning stage systems which in a standard 
configuration include a step motor and coupling.  The MS028 has a cross sectional size of 
28mm x 28mm, travel lengths up to 205mm, an anti-backlash TFE coated leadscrew and a 
square rail supported carriage for mounting a load. 
This manual provides the basic information necessary to unpack, set up, and configure the 
MS028.  If additional information is required beyond what is presented here, please refer to the 
Support section of our website or contact Anaheim Automation Applications Engineering. 
Product Returns 
 
All returns for warranty or out-of-warranty repairs must first receive an RMA (Return Material 
Authorization) number.  Please contact Anaheim Automation Customer Service Department 
with information about the return and an RMA number will be issued if warranted. 
Products returned to the factory will be examined and tested for failure mode and cause.  
Anaheim Automation Customer Service will contact the customer with the repair cost if the 
required repair is out of warranty. 
Unpacking and Handling 
 
Carefully remove the MS028 from its shipping box and inspect the unit for any evidence of 
shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to Anaheim Automation.  Please save the 
shipping box for damage inspection or its use in returning product if necessary. 
Please observe the following guidelines for handling and mounting of your MS028: 
 Do not drop the stage on any hard surface or subject it to any impact loads.  Dropping 
the stage or other impact loads may result in bearing damage or misalignment. 
 Do not drill holes into the stage. Drilling holes into the stage can generate particles and 
machining forces that may affect the operation of the stage.  Anaheim Automation can 
supply the MS028 with modifications to your drawing.  Please contact the factory for a 
quote. 
 Do not expose the MS028 to mist, spray or submersion in liquids. Do not disassemble 
the MS028. Unauthorized adjustments may alter the specifications and void the product 
warranty.

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 for the 
location and number of holes based on the length of the MS028.  Care should be taken to not 
let the mounting screws penetrate the carriage more than the .125” depth or there may be 
interference with moving components in the stage. 
Mounting a Load to the MS028 
 
Four (4) 2-56 UNC with .222” depth are located on the top of the carriage for mounting a load to 
the MS028 (See the Dimensions section).  Care should be taken not to exceed this maximum 
depth so as to not interfere with other components of the carriage assembly.

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: 
Electrical Rating Information 
 
Other motors are available from Anaheim Automation including longer stack length step motors, 
motors with built in drive/controllers, and brushless motors.  Please contact the factory for more 
information.

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-
collector with both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes.  A 1.0 meter cable is supplied to make the 
connections to the driver.

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.
