BGM80MS In Stock

The BGM80MS by Newport is a Goniometric Cradle, designed to cater to diverse precision positioning needs. Engineered with excellence, this cradle facilitates seamless rotation about a transverse axis positioned on the platform. The design of the cradle provides optimal access to the rotating section as well as enables the creation of compact multi-axis rotation assemblies, surpassing traditional 360° rotation stages. A notable feature of the BGM80MS is its capability to achieve two perpendicular axes of rotation, both centered at the same point. This is accomplished through the strategic orthogonal arrangement of two adjacent-sized cradles. By mounting this cradle underneath the assembly, another orthogonal rotation axis can be introduced, all converging at a single point.

The BGM80MS offers a manual operation mode employing a knurled knob, especially useful when the motor is disengaged. Its manual drive system incorporates a precision vernier scale, enhancing position determination, which is complemented by output from an incremental shaft encoder. This cradle exhibits an impressive angular resolution of 0.001°, complemented by mechanical limit switches positioned at ±45°. Furthermore, a hardware origin feature empowers users to swiftly return the stage to a reference home position. Crafted with precision, the BGM80MS incorporates single-row ball bearings and meticulously ground tool-steel races, ensuring impeccable rotational smoothness, minimal wobble, and eccentricity. Integration with a compatible motion controller is recommended, facilitated by a 3-meter cable connection.
