MDE224 - High Precision Manual Adjuster

High Precision Manual Adjuster   

MDE224   

• Negligible backlash
• Graduated knob
• Output via non-rotating hard steel ball
• Positive travel limit stops on control knob
• Coarse adjustment:   8.0 mm travel, 1 µm resolution
• Fine adjustment:   0.3 mm travel, 20 nm resolution
• Very smooth feel, largely independent of applied load
• Santoprene control ring allows a delicate touch and reduces heat transfer into the drive

The MDE224 is a modified version of the MDE216 high precision adjuster with a 9.5mm mounting barrel. It is based on a patented^† mechanical lever system and is one of the highest resolution mechanical (non-piezo) adjusters in the Elliot Scientific range. It is ideal for use with non-standard flexure stages or optomechanical assemblies ( # Note- this is not compatible for use with the Elliot Gold™ series flexure stages where you will require the MDE216 adjuster with a 12 mm diameter matching sleeve).

Travel is 8 mm ( but may be limited to less than this travel depending upon the assembly configuration being used) .

Nominal weight : 0.049Kg

For use with non-standard optomechanic stages
