Micrometer-driven linear and two-axis rotary stages with coarse/fine adjustment for sub-micron fiber and optics alignment.

The UFP series covers compact manual stages for fine positioning in fiber alignment setups. The UFP1A, UFP1B and UFP1C linear stages pair a ±6.5 mm coarse travel with a ±0.3 mm fine adjustment that reaches 0.5 µm sensitivity or better, while the UFP2T provides ±3° rotation about two axes. All models are micrometer driven and made of black anodized aluminum alloy.

Key Features

  • Dual coarse/fine tuning on the linear stages: ±6.5 mm coarse and ±0.3 mm fine travel
  • Linear sensitivity ≤10 µm (coarse) and ≤0.5 µm (fine)
  • Three linear stage heights on a 60 × 60 mm platform: 20 mm (UFP1A), 25 mm (UFP1B), 30 mm (UFP1C)
  • UFP2T two-axis rotary stage: θx and θy ±3°, sensitivity ≤25.2″ (θx) and ≤23.4″ (θy)
  • Linear-slider guides (UFP1A/UFP1B), crossed-roller guide (UFP1C), crossed-roller ring (UFP2T)
  • Linear models: motion straightness ≤3 µm, motion parallelism ≤10 µm
  • Left- (-L) or right-hand (-R) drive versions of UFP1C and UFP2T

Typical Applications

  • Optical fiber alignment and coupling
  • Fine positioning of small optical components
  • Angular alignment of fibers and optics
  • Laboratory optical setups
