XYZ Linear Stage, ULTRAlign, 12.7 mm, Right-Handed, M4 and M6
Model: M-562-XYZ
Product Series Overview
0.5 in. Travel ULTRAlign XYZ Crossed-Roller Bearing Steel StagesThe M-562-XYZ ULTRAlign™ Precision Metric Linear Stage features stainless steel construction for superior long-term stability, with thermally matched, hardened steel crossed-roller bearings for unsurpassed performance. The crossed-roller bearings and precision-manufactured bearing reference surfaces provide exceptionally linear 13 mm travel, with angular deviation better than 100 μrad about any axis. The robust design of the 562 Series Stages makes them ideally suited for repetitive, high-use industrial manufacturing and research applications. These stages have greater thermal immunity due to their higher mass, and larger diameter bearings increase the stiffness of the stage. Oversized loads and complicated platform configurations can easily be accommodated, since all actuators are located below the top surface level. Generous M6 hole patterns provide convenient mounting options. Requires three actuators that are sold separately.
Rigid Crossed Roller Bearings Eliminate Flexure Resonances
Spring-flexures have been touted as the best design method for ultra-precise positioning, but they are inherently susceptible to vibrational disturbances. Their low natural frequency makes them extremely sensitive to everyday lab activities - even walking or talking could disturb your experimental measurements. Touching a flexure component or the optical table can cause changes in the stage position, causing large variations in the output signal. This sensitivity can make fine manual adjustment difficult or sometimes impossible and forces the use of more expensive motion control systems.
Crossed roller bearings, when optimally pre-loaded, are not as susceptible to vibration, giving the ULTRAlign™ far greater stability and stiffness than positioners with flexure designs. With the precision and stability made possible by crossed roller bearing construction, in many cases manual micrometers can be substituted for piezoelectric actuators without degrading positioning performance.
High Load Capacity Stage for Alignment
Lock Securely Without Interfering With Alignment
Each axis of the 562 Series ULTRAlign™ Linear Stages is equipped with a non-influencing locking mechanism to maintain alignment with sub-micron sensitivity when engaging or disengaging.
Easy to Interchange Actuators
Individually Tested to Guarantee <100 µrad Deviation
Each ULTRAlign Stainless Steel Crossed-Roller Translation Stage is tested individually to ensure it meets the <100 µrad angular deviation requirement. We don't just say it, we guarantee it. The actual test results are included with each stage.
