Vertical Positioner Selection Guide

Newport offers a wide selection of manually operated vertical positioning stages. Types of Vertical Positioners products include vertical lift stages, vertical translation stages and lab-jacks. These vertical positioners compromise only a part of a modular system of products that can be combined to provide virtually any required motion or adjustment.

Materials

Stainless Steel: Stainless-steel stages are heavier with a lower thermal expansion delivering better long-term stability and higher precision.

Aluminum: Aluminum stages are lighter and designed for reconfigurability.
