SKV Series Stainless Steel Manual Vertical Stages, 6–13 mm Travel
SKV SeriesDesign Tools
Stainless steel micrometer-driven Z stages with linear slider guides for precise manual height adjustment.
SKV series vertical stages raise and lower the platform directly with a micrometer, while linear slider guides keep the motion accurate as the stage moves. The SUS304 stainless steel body is sandblasted; the top plate carries several standard hole patterns, and fixing holes in the base let the stage be combined with other stages in multi-axis setups. Three models offer 6 or 13 mm travel.
Key Features
- Direct lift structure driven by a centrally mounted vertical micrometer
- Linear slider guides for smooth vertical motion
- Sensitivity ≤2 µm; micrometer minimum reading 0.01 mm, 0.5 mm height change per turn
- SUS304 stainless steel body with sandblasted surface
- Standard mounting holes on the top plate and base for stacking with other stages
- Static parallelism ≤100 µm; central load capacity up to 3 kg
Typical Applications
- Height adjustment of optics, fibers and samples
- Z axis for multi-axis manual positioning assemblies
- Beam height matching on optical tables
- Focus adjustment in imaging setups
