Manual Rotary Stages Running-In Installation Type Rough Adjustment Type

Question: When a rotary stage is finely adjusted using a micrometer knob, how many degrees will the stage surface rotate as the micrometer knob moves 1mm?

Answer: The micrometer knob moves 6.5mm as the stage surface rotates 10°. In other words, the stage surface rotates 1.538° as the micrometer knob moves 1mm.

Question: What is the difference between lateral misalignment and surface runout of a rotary stage?

Answer: Lateral misalignment refers to the displacement of a rotating central shaft in horizontal direction. Surface runout refers to the max. displacement difference relative to the reference plane after rotating one full turn, taking the outer edge of the stage moving surface fixed on the reference surface as the point of measurement. Both are in the unit of μm.

Question: When using a manual rotary stage, is it normal that the clamping device on the opposite side of the micrometer knob still moves even locked after positioning?

Answer: MISUMI manual rotary stages can be finely adjusted after rough positioning. First of all, please lock the rough adjusting & clamping part according to the following steps: ①Adjust the feeding part to the destination (360° adjustable) ②Lock and fix the rough adjusting & clamping part ③Adjust the micrometer to the destination ④Lock the fine adjusting & clamping part.

Question: Does a reverse manual rotary stage also have a reverse direction (counterclockwise) of reading (0~360°)?

Answer: The direction of reading (0~360°) is clockwise for both R (forward) and L (reverse)?
