M-036.P0 Rotation Stage
M-036 series precision rotation stages feature high resolution, excellent repeatability and minimum wobble. The stages are equipped with double ball bearings for minimum backlash and high load capacity. Both the rotation platform and the scale ring (graduated in 2 degree increments) can be independently coarse positioned over 360 degrees and then be locked by screws.
- 360 ° Coarse Range, > 20 ° Fine Range
- Precision Micrometer Drive
- Piezo Option for High Resolution, Dynamic Scanning and Tracking
- 30 mm Æ Clear Aperture
The basic version, M-036.00, is equipped with a micrometer drive and a zero backlash magnetic coupling. The micrometer provides a positioning range of ±10.5 degrees (click here for information on how to convert linear input into rotation).
The versions M-036.PS and M-036.P0 feature additional piezoelectric fine adjustment over a range of ±350 µrad. They also allow dynamic operation such as scanning or tracking. The .PS version is equipped with a closed loop PZT drive (model P-841.30), while the .P0 version has an open loop PZT actuator (model P-840.30). Both drives provide a linear range of 45 microns and sub-nanometer linear resolution (see "PZT Actuators" section for further details and recommended drivers).
Upgrades:
M-036 stages without PZT drives or DC motor drives can be upgraded at a later date (click here for motorized M-036 versions).
