MIT Flea Market
MIT Flea Market
The MIT Flea is back after the pandemic hiatus. I scored two Thomson linear motion systems that sell for $1783 each for a mere $20 each, brand new in original packaging.

Re: MIT Flea Market
They look great! What is their linear travel range and do you know their full step travel advance. The basis for an x-y table?

Re: MIT Flea Market
I was curious too. Zoomed into pic to get the part number:
2CA08OME15146A
Searching on that found this out-of-stock surplus listing:

So 19" travel.
Comparing similar on the Thomson Linear pages, I don't think they have any positioning drive or position feedback, just very precision linear guides.

Re: MIT Flea Market
Correct, they are just linear guides, with no motion stepper. They guy has one more if anyone is interested. PM me for his contact info. I would have bought all three, but was concerned about how to carry them on plane.
