Product Overview
The MISUMI C-XMBS series electric positioning stage is an economical positioning stage equipped with a two-phase stepper motor. Can be used as a positioning stage 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, ensuring the required precision. By simplifying the structure and improving the manufacturing process, the price has been significantly reduced.
Dimensional Drawing

The length of the motor-side connector cable varies depending on the model. Please refer to the actual product.
The purchased model already includes the positioning stage body and the corresponding driver and cable, so there is no need to purchase them separately.

Accessory: Locating pin Quantity: 4 pcs■Travel Distance
Indicates the distance the sliding table can move. (In each product page, illustrations are provided at the center position of the stroke.)
■Load Capacity
The maximum load that can be applied to the center of the positioning stage, 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 (end of stroke). The actual measured values (the actual moved position from the reference point) and the theoretical values (the commanded position to be moved) at each positioning point throughout the entire stroke are measured and calculated. The maximum difference between these values is defined as the unidirectional positioning accuracy.

■Repeat Positioning Accuracy
Repeat positioning from the same direction at any point 7 times, measure the deviation of the stop position, and calculate half of the maximum difference of this deviation. Repeat this operation at three points: the middle and both ends of the stroke. The maximum calculated value is defined as the repeatability accuracy.

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 strokes from 18 mm to 43 mm are achieved.
Feature 3: By adding positioning holes to the upper and lower bases of the positioning stage, quick assembly and disassembly are achieved.
Feature 4: 40/60/80 series positioning hole diameters and positions are standardized, allowing positioning stages of different sizes to be combined interchangeably for diverse assembly options.
Feature 5: The voltage for limit sensors/actuators has been increased to 32 V, reducing failures such as burnout caused by unstable voltage.

Usage Method
The C-XMBS series positioning stage is equipped with a two-phase stepper motor, 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. The connection example between each product is shown in the figure below.

Precautions
■ Positioning Stage Operating Environment
Operating Environment: 10 to 50°C, 20 to 70%RH (non-condensing)
Recommended operating environment: 22±5°C, 20 to 70%RH (non-condensing)
Please avoid using the positioning stage products 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
■About Positioning Stage Maintenance
There is no unified regular maintenance standard due to differences in grease types and usage 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 method. If the cable on the side of the positioning stage is frequently bent, it can easily cause the cable tie to break, which may lead to loose motor terminals and sensor terminals, resulting in poor contact or wire breakage. It is recommended to secure the slider side connector during wiring.
