461-XYZ-LH-M In Stock

The 461-XYZ-LH-M by Newport is an advanced ULTRAlign Left-Handed Linear Stage designed to offer exceptional precision and stability for a wide range of applications. This linear stage features precision-integrated crossed-roller bearings and a durable stainless steel construction, enabling reliable and high-performance operation over its 13 mm XYZ travel range. The 461-XYZ-LH-M's versatile design includes both 8-32 and 1/4-20 hole patterns, facilitating easy and flexible mounting. Moreover, the specially designed actuator mounting blocks allow for swift and hassle-free actuator changes on any axis.

For applications requiring a lower profile, the mounting base of the 461-XYZ-LH-M can be conveniently removed. A notable feature of this linear stage is the strategic positioning of its actuators, which are placed away from any oversized loads. Additionally, each axis of its multi-axis profile incorporates a locking mechanism that is non-influencing, ensuring minimal motion of the stage during unlocking or locking operations. Thanks to its stable linear translation, the 461-XYZ-LH-M can be securely locked into place without disturbing position or translation. This makes it particularly well-suited for interferometry and many other optical applications, where utmost stability is crucial.

The 461-XYZ-LH-M guarantees a maximum angular deviation of <100 µrad for any axis, providing exceptional accuracy. It also offers a remarkable vertical load capacity for Z-axis stages, independent of springs for support. Extensive holographic testing has revealed that the 461-XYZ-LH-M exhibits sub-micron stability even over a significant temperature change of 10°C. This stability ensures consistent and reliable performance under varying environmental conditions. The stage's preloaded crossed-roller bearings enable repeatable and smooth linear motion with virtually no stick-slip, while maintaining minor side-play. Additionally, the roller strips within the bearings are designed to bear cylindrical rollers at a 90° inclination, ensuring consistent linear contact with the ground and hardened ways.
