❌ Positional Inaccuracy
Traditional stages often suffer from backlash or thermal drift, causing ±5μm errors in critical applications like semiconductor inspection.
❌ Limited Load Capacity
Most off-the-shelf motorized XYZ stages max out at 100kg, restricting use in heavy-duty CNC or aerospace testing.
❌ Integration Complexity
67% of engineers report spending 4+ weeks adapting stages to existing PLC systems due to incompatible protocols.
YIDI Motion solves these with custom-engineered solutions.
YIDI Motion's Linear Positioning Stage – Built for Performance
As a leading linear motion parts manufacturer since 2020, we specialize in OEM/ODM linear positioning stages with:
- ±0.1μm repeatability via preloaded ball screws and encoder feedback
- 500kg dynamic load capacity with reinforced aluminum or stainless steel frames
- Plug-and-play integration with Modbus, Analog, or Ethernet interfaces
- Vacuum/cleanroom compatibility (ISO Class 4 certified materials)
- 24-hour rapid prototyping for custom strokes (50mm–2000mm)
Our Shijiazhuang facility: 100 employees, 30% senior technicians, and German-imported machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a ball screw and lead screw linear stage?
Ball screws offer 90–95% efficiency and ±0.01mm backlash, ideal for high-precision tasks. Lead screws (70–90% efficiency) are cheaper but suffer from wear and backlash. YIDI Motion uses ball screws exclusively for industrial applications.
Can you provide a vacuum-compatible linear stage for semiconductor manufacturing?
Yes! Our YLS-V series is rated for 10⁻⁶ Torr with outgassing rates < 1×10⁻⁸ mbar·L/s/cm². Used in TSMC and Intel fabs for wafer handling.
How do I integrate your motorized XYZ stage with my PLC?
We provide Modbus RTU/TCP, Analog (±10V), and Ethernet IP protocols. 80% of clients use our pre-configured LabVIEW drivers for seamless integration. Request a free compatibility check.
What's the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom linear positioning stages?
MOQ is 1 unit for standard models. For custom strokes/materials, MOQ is 5 units. No MOQ for samples – order a prototype first!
Do you offer on-site installation and training?
For orders >$20,000, we include free on-site training in North America/Europe. Our engineers have installed stages in 120+ facilities worldwide.
What Our Customers Say
John Carter
Production Manager, Ford Motor Co.
"Replaced 12 lead screw stages with YIDI's ball screw models in our assembly line. Downtime dropped 85% in 6 months. Their team even helped us recalibrate the entire system remotely."
Sarah Connors
R&D Lead, ASML
"The nanometer positioning stage (YLS-50N) was the only solution that met our ±20nm repeatability requirement for EUV lithography. Shipped from China to Netherlands in 10 days."
David Kim
CTO, NanoTech Solutions
"YIDI's 6-DOF positioning system saved us $200K/year by replacing three separate stages. Their OEM design team worked with us for 3 months to perfect the Z-axis lift."
