Applications
Mounting to standard optical tables
Connect positioners to M6 or ¼"-20 grids for room-temperature setup and testing.
Pre-cooldown alignment
Assemble and align a stack on the bench before it goes into the cryostat.
Repeatable re-installation
Pin-aligned versions return the stack to a known position after every service cycle.
Specifying this part
What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it
Repeatable remounting between cooldowns
Mounts the assembly to a standard M6 or ¼"-20 optical table grid. The PinsPlate variant adds alignment pins and a pre-routed connector pin-out, so the stage returns to the same place after a thermal cycle — which matters when one cycle costs a day.
Heat load at the cold plate
Stick-slip inertial drives dissipate energy per step and draw no holding current once stopped, so the steady-state load on the mixing chamber is the wiring loom rather than the motor. Anchor the loom at each temperature stage and thermalise the moving body with an FTC copper braid.
Non-magnetic construction
Titanium bodies and BeCu fasteners throughout, rated for operation to 35 T and down to 30 mK with the .ULT option, at 2 × 10⁻¹¹ mbar with .UHV. A single steel screw substituted at installation is enough to compromise a high-field assembly.
