The Newport NRC 430 is a manual linear positioner engineered for precision alignment in research and industrial applications. This low-profile stage delivers 4 inches × 3 inches of travel with ball bearing guidance, designed for stiffness, low drift, and thermal stability. Manual adjustment is accomplished via micrometer heads, or the stage can be retrofitted with Newport 850 Series Linear Actuators for automated control. The platform features 1/4-20 tapped mounting holes and precision-machined surfaces for repeatable, stable positioning of optics, sensors, and precision components.
