Linear Stage, High-Performance, Low-Profile, 25 mm, M6
Model: M-423
Product Series Overview
Extended Range, Ball Bearing StagesThe M-423 linear translation stage with a 156 N centered load capacity and M6 mounting holes features exceptional performance, usability, and value with precision ball bearing construction. For stability, repeatability, and exceptionally smooth motion, actuators bear upon a hardened carbide insert. Springs provide preload against the actuator tip to eliminate backlash. Although the stage is capable of traveling a full 25 mm with the SM-25 micrometer drive, the actuator mounting blocks can be relocated to accommodate 13 mm drives like the SM-13. A non-influencing lock provides positive stable positioning and guards against inadvertent adjustments. Actuators for this stage are sold separately.
Ball-bearings Provide Smooth Linear Translation
Designed to be Reconfigured to Left or Right-Handed
These extended range stages are designed with symmetrical features allowing them to be reconfigured for left or right-handed operation. This video shows a 423 stage being reconfigured to have the micrometer accessible from the opposite side of the stage. This is needed to allow the stage to be used for vertical travel but is also useful for improving adjustment accessibility. Note, also, that the lock and the micrometer locations can be switched.
423 XYZ Stage Stack Assembly
These extended range stages are designed to be easily configured into multi-axis stage stacks. An XYZ assembly is shown in this video using three SM-25 micrometer actuated 423 stages with a 360-90 or 9101NF right angle bracket.
Integrate with Rotation Stages
Easily combine and stack these light-weight stages together with 481 Rotation Stages for a multi-axis system. The rotation stage may be mounted below or above the linear stages.
