Thorlabs - Model NanoFlex -Single-Axis Flexure Translation Stages: 1.5 mm Travel
Thorlabs` NanoFlex flexure stages are compact stages that offer translation without friction or sticking. The flexure mechanism used in these translation stages is a frictionless mechanism that has improved positioning and resolution when compared to similar stages made using bearings. The translation of the stage is accomplished by the elastic deformation (flexing) of a linkage attached to the mounting platform. The translation stage has a manual translation range of 1.5 mm with an independent piezoelectric translation range of 25 μm (see the Selection Guide tab for stages with 5 mm manual translation). Piezo connection is made by a standard SMC terminal.
The NanoFlex flexure stages are rated for a maximum load of 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs), which makes them an ideal choice for many laboratory and OEM applications. The modular design allows for multiple stages to be stacked in multi-axis configurations. An XYZ configuration can be constructed using three NF15AP25(/M) stages and an NF15P2(/M) angle bracket. Thorlabs offers an imperial (KPZNF15) and metric (KPZNF15/M) bundle that includes a NanoFlex flexure stage, a KPZ101 piezo controller, and NF15P1 base plate. Please see the Bundles tab for more information.
