Stage to Actuator Selection Guide

Many of Newport manual positioning products can be motorized using Newport motorized precision actuators. Once the manual positioners are chosen for your application, the compatibility tables below make easier for you to select the appropriate actuator products.

The tables indicate the compatibility between manual positioner products and the most popular motorized actuator models which are NewStep, TRA, NanoPZ and LTA series. The manual positioner products are shown with the order of Manual Linear Stages section,Manual Rotation Stages section and Manual Mirror Mounts section.

To see the complete array of Newport motorized actuators, please refer to Motorized Linear Actuator Selection Guide.

Compatibility Key
icn-bullet-green Fully Compatible1
icn-bullet-greeninfo Compatible but may require standard interface adaptor and/or include small performance limitation (Click to see the notes)
icn-bullet-yellow 2Call the local sales office (877-835-9620 in the U.S) or email tech@newport.com
icn-bullet-grey Not Compatible or Not Recommended3

1. In some cases, one must limit the travel range of actuators and these are specified in the note when the green dot is clicked.
2. 'Yellow' may require custom interface adaptor or may include significant performance limitations in terms of travel length, load capacity and etc.
3. For TRA series actuator (TRA6, TRA12, TRA25), only one TRA model is chosen as "Green" in most cases due to the travel length requirement. (eg. TRA6 or TRA25 can still be compatible with 460A-X but not recommended as TRA12 is an ideal choice with its 12mm travel range)


STEP 1: Find the best choice of motorized actuator for manual positioner you are interested.

STEP 2: If the selection is Green-Info, click on symbol to read the note descriptions for any required interface adaptor or performance limitation.
