Black anodized aluminum Z stages with micrometer drive and linear slider guides for manual height adjustment.

AKV series vertical stages are micrometer-driven Z stages with linear slider guides that keep motion accurate as the platform rises and falls. Direct-lift models (Z) use a vertical micrometer, while lever-lift models (C) use a horizontal micrometer. The black anodized aluminum body has low reflectivity for dark environments, and standard holes in the top plate and base allow stacking with other stages.

Key Features

  • Six models with 6, 10 or 13 mm travel and 40 × 40 to 90 × 90 mm stage surfaces
  • Direct lift with vertical micrometer (Z models) or lever lift with horizontal micrometer (C models)
  • Linear slider guides for smooth vertical motion
  • Sensitivity ≤2 µm; micrometer minimum reading 0.01 mm
  • Black matte anodized finish with low reflectivity
  • Standard holes on the top plate and base for combining with other stages
  • Central load capacity up to 3 kg; static parallelism ≤100 µm

Typical Applications

  • Height adjustment of optics, fibers and samples
  • Z axis for multi-axis manual positioning assemblies
  • Low-light and dark-room optical setups
  • Beam height matching on optical tables
