The Newport M-460P Bracket is a precision mounting solution designed for the M-460P XYZ stage, delivering three-axis positioning with integrated micrometers. This aluminum bracket establishes stable multi-axis configurations using Newport’s patented peg joining system, enabling secure stage stacking and straightforward assembly without tools. The bracket accommodates M4 and M6 threads and features four counterbored through holes for direct mounting to optical tables or breadboards.

– Compatibility & Integration
The M-460P Bracket is fully compatible with Newport's 460PD Series Dovetail Stages, sharing identical size and peg joining architecture. The patented peg joining system enables rapid assembly and disassembly: pegs screw into threaded holes, stages position on protruding pegs, and setscrews secure the configuration. This approach supports custom multi-axis stacks tailored to specific positioning requirements while maintaining repeatability and alignment.
