Upper Goniometric Stage, ±5°, 40 x 40 x 20 mm, M3 & M6

The M-GON40-U Upper Metric Goniometric Stage rotates an object about an axis, which is unobstructed by the stage itself, located over the center of the top platform. GON Series Goniometric Rotation Stages use an actuator-driven precision dovetail slide and are spring-loaded to reduce the backlash commonly found in similar worm-gear driven stages. The spring-loaded design has the additional advantage of interchangeable actuators which allow selection of adjustment sensitivities from a variety of actuators such as precision adjustment screws, differential micrometers, or motorized actuators. Like-sized GON Series stages can be used alone or stacked. In a stacked configuration, the axes of rotation will intersect with each other for orthogonal motion about a common point in space. The M-GON40-U Goniometric Stages have ±5° of rotational motion when used with a 13 mm travel actuator. The motion on goniometric stages can be securely locked using a hex screw on the side of the stage.
