Quick-Mount, Ball Bearing Aluminum Linear Stages
Quick-Mount, Ball Bearing Aluminum Linear Stages
460A Series quick-mount linear stages have external mounting tabs, as apposed to through holes beneath the sliding stage, which allow the fastest mounting regardless of the stage's initial position. The light-weight aluminum construction translates on stainless steel ball bearings and rods with a minimum profile for 0.5 in. linear translation with <150 µrad deviation.
- Stages mounted with side tabs for easiest integration into optical systems
- Low profile fits in tightest configurations
- Ball-bearings provide smooth travel over 0.5 in. with <150 µrad deviation
- Can be configured with manual or motorized actuators and for left-handed use See All Features

Features
Stainless Steel Ball-Bearings for Smooth Translation
The light-weight aluminum construction translates using stainless steel ball bearings running along opposing pairs of polished stainless steel rods. The stages are also spring loaded against the drive actuator for backlash free motion. For the lower load capacity of the lightweight stage, this offers exceptional straightness of travel over the full 0.5-in. (or 13 mm) travel range, with <150 µrad deviation.
Fast Side Tab Mounting
Most standard stages mount beneath the translating component, requiring proper positioning to expose the mounting through holes. With the 460A Series Quick-Mount Linear Stages, however, convenient external mounting tabs eliminate this need. These stages offer the easiest mounting, regardless of the stage's initial position, for fast implementation into optical systems.
Low Profile Design Fits in Tight Spaces
Both X and XY configurations of these stages have the same minimum profile height of 1 in. to fit easily anywhere. Stainless steel actuator mounts are compatible with either manual or motorized actuators to accommodate your precision needs, sold with (-MIC models) or without actuators included.
Versatile Stage Configurations
Multiple configurations for these stages are available to match your specific requirements: X, XY, XZ and XYZ. The integrated vertical stage and angle bracket is user removable allowing conversion of an XYZ stage to an XY stage, or conversion of an XZ stage to an X stage. XYZ stage is offered with a choice between left-handed and right-handed.
Cost Saving Stage-and-Micrometer Bundles
We offer a special bundle of three (M-)460A-X, (M-)460A-XY, or (M-)460A-XYZ stages with the recommended SM-13 actuators included. When you purchase the bundle, you get all the SM-13 micrometers for free!
