| Precision Double-Row Ball Bearing Linear Stages |
| P/N: | URM Series |
| Introduction: | Newport UMR Series Precision Double-Row Ball Bearing Linear Stages feature steel construction for high stability and rigidity. The ball bearings and precision-ground bearing surfaces provide exceptional linear travel, with angular deviation better than 100-200 µrad. UMR3, UMR5, and URM8 Series Stages have double-row ball bearings making them an excellent choice for carrying high loads. UMR12 Series Stages contain a single row of ball bearings. In all UMR stages, the moving carriage is preloaded by two springs to ensure constant micrometer contact for smooth, backlash-free motion. |

| 1D Translation Stage |
| P/N: | PTS1 Series |
| Introduction: | A linear stage or translation stage is a component of a motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of motion. The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with linear stage, though technically linear slide refers to a linear motion bearing, which is only a component of a linear stage. All linear stages consist of a platform and a base, joined by some form of guide or linear bearing in such a way that the platform is restricted to linear motion with respect to the base. In common usage, the term linear stage may or may not also include the mechanism by which the position of the platform is controlled relative to the base. |

| 2D XY Translation Stages |
| P/N: | PTS2 Series |
| Introduction: | For position control in more than one direction, multiple linear stages may be used together. A two-axis or X-Y stage can be assembled from two linear stages, one mounted to the platform of the other such that the axis of motion of the second stage is perpendicular to that of the first. A two-axis stage with which many people are familiar is a microscope stage, used to position a slide under a lens. |

| 3D XYZ Translation Stages |
| P/N: | PTS3 Series |
| Introduction: | A three-axis or X-Y-Z stage is composed of three linear stages mounted to each other (often with the use of an additional angle bracket) such that the axes of motion of all stages are orthogonal. Some two-axis and three-axis stages are integrated designs rather than being assembled from separate single-axis stages. Some multiple-axis stages also include rotary or tilt elements such as rotary stages or positioning goniometers. By combining linear and rotary elements in various ways, four-axis, five-axis, and six-axis stages are also possible. |
