Product Overview
The MISUMI C-ZMBS series electric slide table is an economical slide table equipped with a two-phase stepper motor. It can be used as a slide table for position adjustment in automation equipment. The main body is made of 20Cr steel with chemical nickel plating, providing not only high rigidity but also excellent rust resistance. An integrated linear ball guide is used for guidance, meeting the required precision for use. By simplifying the structure and improving the manufacturing process, the price has been significantly reduced.

Specification Overview
■ Travel Distance
Indicates the distance the slide table surface can move. (In each product page, the illustration is shown at the center position of the travel range.)
■ Load Capacity
The maximum load that can be applied to the center of the slide table surface and the value that can be driven at maximum speed.
■ Unidirectional Positioning Accuracy
Positioning is performed sequentially at fixed intervals in one direction from the reference point (stroke end). Across the entire stroke, the difference between the actual measured value at each positioning point (from the reference point to the actual moved position) and the theoretical value (the position the command is supposed to move to) is measured and calculated. The maximum difference is defined as the unidirectional positioning accuracy.

■Repeatability
At any given point, perform positioning from the same direction 7 times, measure the deviation of the stop position, and calculate half of the maximum deviation. Repeat this operation at three points: the center and both ends of the stroke. The largest calculated value is defined as the repeatability.

t1 < 0.1 µs t2 ≥ 0.9 µs t3 ≥ 10 µs
t4: ENA (enable signal) t4 should be set high at least 10 µs before DIR. In general, it is recommended to leave ENA+ and ENA- unconnected.
Product Features
Feature 1: By simplifying the structure and improving the manufacturing process, a lower price is achieved.
Feature 2: By rearranging the internal steel balls and extending the base, selectable travel ranges from 18 mm to 43 mm are available.
Feature 3: By adding positioning holes to the upper and lower bases of the slide table, quick assembly and disassembly are achieved.
Feature 4: The 40/60/80 series positioning hole diameters and positions are standardized, allowing slide tables of different sizes to be combined, offering diverse combinations.
Feature 5: The voltage for limit sensors/drivers has been increased to 32 V, reducing failures such as burnout caused by unstable voltage.

Usage Method
The C-ZMBS series slide table is equipped with a two-phase stepper motor, a MISUMI two-phase stepper motor driver, and cables. Customers only need to prepare a 24 V power supply and a host controller (PLC or motion control card) to use it. An example of the connection between each product is shown in the diagram below.

Precautions
■ Slide Table Operating Environment
Operating environment: 10 to 50°C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)
Recommended environment: 22±5°C, 20 to 70% RH (non-condensing)
Please avoid using the slide table in the following environments
(1) Dusty environments (especially metal powder)
(2) Environments with direct sunlight or heat radiation
(3) Near fire sources
(4) Environments with corrosive or flammable gases
(5) Environments with splashing water or oil
(6) Environments with strong vibration or impact
(7) Environments with organic solvents or high salt content
■ Maintenance of the Slide Table
There is no unified regular maintenance standard due to differences in grease types and operating environments. Depending on the drive conditions and the type of guide rail, please be sure to check the grease at least once a month.
■ About Wiring
The motor and sensor cables of this product use a cable + connector configuration. If the cable on the slide table side is frequently bent, it may cause the cable tie to break, which can lead to loose motor and sensor terminals, resulting in poor contact or broken wires. It is recommended to secure the connector on the slide table side when routing the cables.
