Black anodized aluminum linear stages with crossed-roller guides for loaded, accurate manual positioning.

AK series manual linear stages are machined from hard aluminum alloy with a black anodized finish that suits dark lab environments. Crossed-roller guides on precision-machined mounting surfaces give a sensitivity of 2 µm or better and straightness within 3 µm over the full travel, with horizontal loads up to 15 kg. Each stage is available with a fine-tuning screw (standard) or micrometer drive and several drive locations.

Key Features

  • Crossed-roller guide for load capacity and durability
  • Precision-machined guide mounting surfaces: sensitivity ≤2 µm, straightness ≤3 µm
  • Pitch ≤25″, yaw ≤15″, motion parallelism ≤10 µm
  • Hard aluminum alloy with black anodized surface for strength and wear resistance
  • Fine-tuning screw drive as standard, micrometer drive with A suffix (0.01 mm reading)
  • Drive at center, right or left, with vertical-mount variants (C, SR, SL, CZ, RZ, LZ)
  • Five sizes from 40 × 40 mm to 100 × 100 mm, 13 or 25 mm travel

Typical Applications

  • Manual positioning of optics and optomechanics
  • Laboratory optical setups requiring higher load capacity
  • Building multi-axis manual stage assemblies
  • Positioning in dark or low-reflection environments
