Low-Profile Linear Stage, Crossed-Roller Bearings, 1 in. Travel, 1/4-20 Threads

The 426 High-Performance Low-Profile Crossed-Roller Bearing Linear Stages feature crossed-roller bearings running on ground steel V-ways to provide an attractive combination of high-resolution movement, low runout, and large load capacity. For stability, repeatability, and exceptionally smooth motion, actuators bear upon a hardened carbide insert. Springs provide preload against the actuator tip to eliminate backlash. To ensure consistently dependable performance, these stages are extensively tested in Newport’s Interferometric Quality Assurance Facility. A highly stable and rigid stainless steel actuator mounting system allows your choice of Newport’s manual or motorized actuators to be attached to the stage in either a left- or right-hand configuration. A non-influencing lock (also reversible for left handed configurations) similar to those used on our top of the line ULTRAlign™ Series provides positive stable positioning and guards against inadvertent adjustments. This solid platform version features a convenient array of 1/4-20 tapped holes and a 1 inch (25.4 mm) travel range. The stages are easily stacked for XY applications, and may be combined with our Model 360-90 Angle Bracket for XYZ configurations.
