Application context
Why this design is used
Incidence angle control
Set the angle of incidence for reflectometry, ellipsometry and grazing-incidence work.
Optic alignment
Square a mirror, grating or detector to the beam where a fixed pivot keeps the geometry intact.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect GS35-35.Lab to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Travel and resolution
- Travel range: ±8 ° · Unidirection Repeatability: ±10 urad
- Separate travel from resolution and both from repeatability. Repeatability is what an automated sequence actually depends on, and it is the figure most often absent from a headline specification.
- Drive and feedback
- Controller: MC-Newton.S series
- Pair open-loop mechanics with the specified high-voltage or inertial driver, and closed-loop variants with the controller their capacitive, strain-gauge or encoder feedback requires. Matching connectors do not guarantee electrical compatibility.
- Load and mounting
- Max. Payload (horizontal mounting): 1 kg
- Check the load rating in the orientation you will use it — a vertical or cantilevered load is a moment, not a mass — and match the base to an M6 pattern on a 25 mm grid or a 1/4"-20 pattern on a 1 inch grid.

Specifying this part
What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it
Tilt about a point above the plate
Each goniometer tilts about a centre a fixed height above its own mounting surface, so a theta and phi pair share one virtual pivot. Get that height right against your sample plane or the beam walks as you tilt.
Vacuum and non-magnetic versions
Most of the range is orderable as .HV (high vacuum), .UHV (ultra-high vacuum) or .NM (non-magnetic). The suffix changes materials, cabling and bake compatibility rather than the mechanics, so specify it against the chamber the stage will live in.
