461-XZ-M In Stock

The 461-XZ-M by Newport is an ULTRAlign Crossed-Roller Bearing Linear Stage that boasts precision integration and stainless steel construction. These features ensure exceptional stability and thermal matching. With a travel range of 13 mm in the XZ direction and versatile hole patterns including 1/4-20 and 8-32, this linear stage offers convenient and straightforward mounting options. It surpasses the limitations typically associated with multi-axis setups found in traditional tooling industry designs. The 461-XZ-M employs strategically positioned actuators to accommodate oversized loads, and its removable mounting base allows for a lower profile.

The locking mechanism of the 461-XZ-M axes has been meticulously designed to minimize any stage motion during the unlocking and locking process. Specially crafted actuator mounting blocks enable swift and effortless actuator changes on any axis. The use of stainless steel throughout the stage, including the angle brackets, actuator mounts, and assembly hardware, ensures optimal stability. Furthermore, the stage can be securely locked in place without disrupting its translation or position. The 461-XZ-M is optimized for various optical applications, particularly interferometry.

The crossed-roller bearings of the 461-XZ-M enable precise linear translation, while the meticulously manufactured bearing reference surfaces maintain a maximum angular deviation of less than 100 µrad for each axis. Rigorous holographic testing confirms the 461-XZ-M's sub-micron stability even under a temperature change of 10°C. This linear stage is designed specifically for right-handed configurations and incorporates preloaded crossed-roller bearings, providing smooth and precise linear motion without stick-slip or noticeable side play. The cylindrical rollers are oriented at a 90° angle to ensure consistent linear contact with the ground and hardened ways, secured by roller strips.
