The Newport M-426 is a precision linear translation stage engineered for high-resolution positioning in single-axis (X) applications. Built on crossed-roller bearings mounted on ground steel V-ways, it delivers smooth, repeatable motion with minimal backlash and exceptional straightness. The stage accepts manual micrometers or motorized actuators via side drive and reconfigures for left- or right-handed operation. Spring-loaded preload eliminates backlash while a non-influencing lock secures position. Stackable design enables multi-axis XY and XYZ systems, making it ideal for optical alignment, research, and precision component positioning.
