Precision Linear Stages for Industrial Automation – 90-Day Delivery Guarantee
Cut motion control costs by 30% with YIDI's German-engineered linear stages. OEM/ODM customization available for your exact specifications.
Common Challenges with Linear Motion Systems
Engineering teams face these critical pain points when sourcing linear stages:
- Precision Limitations: Sub-micron accuracy requirements often force compromise between speed and repeatability in standard linear stages.
- Integration Headaches: 47% of automation projects delay launch due to controller incompatibility (2026 Automation World Report).
- Cost Overruns: Premium brands charge 2-3x for comparable specs—eating into your ROI on high-volume production lines.
- Lead Time Risks: European suppliers quote 16-20 weeks delivery, stalling your time-to-market.
- Harsh Environment Failures: Standard linear stages degrade in vacuum chambers or high-temperature (120°C+) applications without proper sealing.
- Load Capacity Trade-offs: Achieving 500kg+ load capacity typically requires sacrificing compactness or speed.
YIDI Motion solves these with German/Japanese-machined components, modular designs, and China's fastest turnaround.

Client Testimonials
"YIDI's LS-200 stages reduced our pick-and-place cycle time by 40% while cutting costs by 35% vs. PI. Their engineering team solved our encoder compatibility issue in 3 days."
Dr. Mark Chen
R&D Director, Siemens Automation
"We needed vacuum-compatible stages for our SEM microscope. YIDI delivered 10⁻⁶ Torr-rated units with ±0.5μm repeatability—half the price of Aerotech."
Sarah Johnson
Procurement Manager, Thermo Fisher
Linear Stage FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between a linear stage and a linear actuator?
A: A linear stage is a precision positioning system with built-in guides (e.g., cross-roller or dovetail) for high accuracy. A linear actuator is a simpler device for basic push/pull motions without positioning feedback.
Q: Can YIDI Motion provide vacuum-compatible linear stages?
A: Yes. Our LS-V series is rated for 10⁻⁶ Torr with non-outgassing lubricants and magnetic encoders for vacuum use.
Q: What’s the lead time for custom linear stages?
A: Standard models ship in 2-4 weeks. Custom designs (e.g., special travel ranges or materials) take 8-12 weeks. 90-day guarantee for all orders.
Q: Do you offer OEM/ODM services?
A: Absolutely. We provide full customization—from motor type (stepper/servo/piezo) to mechanical dimensions. No MOQ for prototypes.
Q: How do I choose between ball screw and lead screw stages?
A: Ball screw stages offer higher precision (±1μm) and longer life (10,000+ km) but cost more. Lead screw stages are budget-friendly for low-load (<100kg) applications.
Q: What controllers are compatible with your stages?
A: Our stages work with Galil, ACS, Beckhoff, and Delta Tau controllers. We also provide plug-and-play solutions with our own controllers.
Q: What’s your warranty policy?
A: 2-year warranty on all linear stages. Lifetime support for maintenance and repairs.
Q: Do you provide free samples?
A: Yes! Order a sample stage (≤150mm travel) with free shipping. 30-day money-back guarantee if not satisfied.
