The 460A Series Quick-Mount Linear Stages have integrated external mounting tabs which provide easy access to the mounting screws without having to slide the stage. The 460A features all aluminum construction with hardened ball bearings running along opposing pairs of polished and hardened stainless steel rods. This offers exceptional straightness of travel, but a lower load capacity than our crossed-roller bearing stages. The Model 460A-XY is integrated not only for precise, orthogonal motion but also for exceptionally low profile. The Z Axis Stage/Bracket is user removable allowing conversion of a 460A-XYZ Model to a 460A-XY or conversion of an 460A-XZ to a 460A-X Model. The stages are spring loaded against the drive actuator for backlash free motion. Vertical-drive assemblies carry the load through the actuator spindle rather than the springs for positive load support.
Preloaded precision ball bearing movements provide reduced friction and capability to make small controlled movements. Bearings are captured in hardened steel rod guides.
