Stops and nudgers are used as position index points to locate components on an optical table and allow them to be repeatedly removed and inserted. They all have a hardened steel ball for a true one-point contact and are ideal for applications with constrained space. Additionally, nudgers feature 1/4-80 adjustment screws for precise relocation of the component and are usually used together with stops to nudge a component in the direction parallel to the reference edge defined by the stops.
Kinematic nudgers and stops are designed with an inch-long slot sized for 1/4-20 (M6) screws to provide coarse positioning travel.
The Kinematic Stops and Nudgers are designed with a low 9.5 mm profile so they will work with breadboards and bases as thin as 6.4 mm.
KN-1 features a patented locking mechanism that does not rotate the screw when engaged and therefore does not influence the screw's position.
