Crossed-Roller Bearing Linear Translation Stages (Thru-Hole Model)

TECHSPEC® Crossed-Roller Bearing Linear Translation Stages (Thru-Hole Model) feature a high performance crossed roller bearing guide system that provides these stages with high load capacity, rigidity, and accuracy. This advanced bearing guide system allows the single axis translations stages to have precise positioning with straight line accuracy of 2μm. TECHSPEC Crossed-Roller Bearing Linear Translation Stages (Thru-Hole Model) are able to integrate with other stage sizes as well as integrate with TECHSPEC® Manual Translation Stages, providing users the flexibility to create configurations with a number of axes. Translation stages are available with either English or Metric hole patterns for easy incorporation into existing optomechanical systems.

Thru-Hole Translational Stages are available with the following thread centered on their top plate: 5/16"-24 thread on our 30mm stages for use with our #38-534 Pinhole Adapter, S-Mount (M12 x 0.5) on our 40mm stages, C-Mount (1”-32 TPI) on our 70mm stages, and T-Mount (M42 x 0.75) on our 125mm stages for compatibility with our C-, T-, and S-Mount Tube System Components.

All translation stages are class 100 (ISO 5) clean room compatible and available with a micrometer or lead screw drive with either center or side drive configuration. Leadscrew drives offer 0.5mm pitch, Metric micrometers offer 0.5mm pitch with 0.01mm divisions, and English micrometers offer 0.025” pitch with 0.001" divisions.

TECHSPEC Z-Axis Brackets are available to use with our translation stages to configure your own X-Y-Z multi-axis positioning system. TECHSPEC Bottom Adapter Plates provide an easy and convenient way of mounting 30mm and 40mm stages to standard breadboards. No adapter plate is required for our 70mm and 125mm translation stages which can be mounted directly onto breadboards.
