Miniature Linear Stage, 25 mm Travel, DC Motor, Vacuum Compatible

The MFA-CCV6 Vacuum Compatible Miniature Linear Stage is designed for space-limited applications and compact multi-axis assemblies. It is a high resolution, single-axis 25 mm stage in a low-cost, motorized package. Typical applications for this stage are fiber optic alignment, laser diode research, bio-medical applications and inspection systems. The MFA-CC DC-motor features an integrated gear-box and a motor-mounted high resolution 2,048 cts/rev rotary encoder. The high-resolution position feedback and low-friction mechanical design ensures ultra-smooth motion with 100 nm sensitivity. The MFA-CC is the choice for applications that require small incremental motion, high dynamic speed range and good repeatability. The smooth motion of the MFA linear stages is further accentuated by Newport's proprietary double-row linear ball bearing design with bearing ways that are directly machined into the structural frame of the stage. Compared to alternative solutions that use commercial bearings, MFA linear stages offer a higher load capacity and stiffness with low pitch and yaw errors. Another benefit of Newport's integrated bearing ways is the availability of 4 widely spaced mounting holes for base mounting and XY-assemblies. This provides better stress distribution and allows for more rigid multi-axis combinations.
Note: The connector supplied with the stage is not vacuum compatible due to various feed-through configurations and customer preferences. Please contact Newport for vacuum compatible connector options.
