New port translation stage assembly with model 75 rod
Newport Translation Stage and Assembly
The Newport 400 X/Y Linear Translation Stage is now called the Newport Model 401 and is virtually identical. It offers 0.5 inches of movement in each direction, while carrying up to a 100 pound load on its pre-loaded ball bushing movements, yet is less than 2" tall. The Newport actuators are included.
The Newport 370 Rod Clamp is a discontinued model, but is virturally identical to the Model 370-RC, with the exception that the 370-RC has a larger mounting face and plastic knobs, while this model has knurled steel knobs. The 370 can be adjusted for smooth traverse and has a nylon pinion gear to engage the rack on Newport rods with rack, such as the Newport 75 Rod.
Models 45 and 75 Damped Rods are the most sophisticated rods available for critical applications where acoustical and vibrational forces are a concern. These rods incorporate cylindrical masses constrained by damping layers, concentrated in the upper portion of the rod where they are most effective in dissipating vibrational energy. This construction is the result of extensive computer modeling, dynamic testing and structural analysis.
Newport s patented internal damping system provides unmatched vibrational immunity. Compared to the best alternative designs, Newport damped rods exhibit 60% higher resonant frequency, 100% faster vibration decay and 160% better peak compliance.
These 14 in. (356 mm) long rods mount to tables and breadboards with four bolts through a special ring base.
Model 75 has a nylon gear rack for rack-and-pinion control over component elevation.
There are a couple of other mounting plates on the assembly all are precision parts from NRC.
