Chapter 4 Installation
4.1. Mounting
4.1.1. General
Mount the PD1D(/M) stage on an even surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤5 μm.
For applications with large temperature changes, only mount the PD1D(/M) stage on a surface that has the same
or similar thermal expansion properties as the stage.
The mounting holes are accessible when the moving platform is at the ends of the translation range. The stage can
be mounted using two 2-56 (M2) screws near the corners with a maximum of 0.35 N·m torque. Alternatively, two
8-32 (M4) screws can be used on either end of the stage with up to 0.55 N·m torque.
Take care to mount the stage before attaching components to the stage’s moving platform.
Figure 3 Mounting Holes
CAUTION
Mounting the PD1D(/M) stage on an uneven surface can warp the stage, degrading the performance
and possibly damaging the stage.
When mounting close to other equipment, ensure that the travel of the carriage is not obstructed. If
movement is obstructed the stage will stall, which could cause excessive wear and premature failure.
When using the stage in the proximity of other objects or equipment, ensure that movement of cables
connected to the moving carriage is not impeded.
Avoid touching the ceramic bar under the carriage plate.
