426 In Stock

The 426 by Newport is a High-Performance, Low-Profile Crossed-Roller Bearing Linear Stage renowned for its remarkable capabilities. Engineered with precision, it operates on ground steel V-ways that incorporate crossed-roller bearings, resulting in exceptional load capacity, impeccable high-resolution movement, and minimal runout. A distinguishing feature of the 426 is its utilization of hardened carbide inserts as contact points for its actuators. This strategic design element imparts crucial attributes to the stage, including consistent repeatability, unwavering stability, and an incredibly smooth motion profile. To eradicate backlash, specialized springs exert a preload against these actuator tips. The stage's stainless steel actuator mounting system allows effortless adaptation to left or right-handed configurations.

The 426 is equipped with 1/4-20 tapped holes, enabling facile stacking in XY arrangements or seamless integration with compatible angle brackets to achieve XYZ configurations. This stage is meticulously optimized for extensive interferometric quality testing and seamlessly accommodates a spectrum of manual and motorized actuators. Significantly, the stage's actuator support system is meticulously designed to curtail backlash, ensuring a deviation of less than 150 µrad. It is noteworthy that this stage is delivered without included actuators, affording users the flexibility to tailor the translation mechanism to suit specific applications. The interchangeability of actuators is streamlined, allowing rapid adaptation for diverse operational needs. An additional advantageous feature of the 426 is its non-influencing lock, which serves to securely position the stage while safeguarding against unintended adjustments.
