Higher resolution from actuator-driven goniometers

A Newport Spectra-Physics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 31, 2002

Actuator-driven goniometers offer higher resolution and sensitivity than most leadscrew-driven goniometers, and a new series features two sizes with an upper version and a lower version for each

Newport's M-GON Series Goniometers utilize an actuator-driven precision dovetail slide.

They can be driven by a precision adjustment screw, a micrometer, or a motorized actuator.

Actuator-driven goniometers offer higher resolution and sensitivity than most lead screw-driven goniometers.

Two different goniometer sizes are available: (40 x 40 mm) and (65 x 65 mm) and for each size there is an upper version and a lower version depending on the sensitivity required.

They can be used alone or stacked for orthogonal motion about a common point in space.

The M-GON40 Goniometers have +/-5deg of rotational motion when used with a 13 mm travel actuator.

The GON65-U upper goniometer has +/-10deg of rotational motion when used with a 25 mm travel actuator, and +/-5deg of motion when used with a 13 mm travel actuator.

The M-GON65-L lower goniometer has +/-5deg of motion when used with a 25 mm travel actuator, and +/-3deg of motion when used with a 13 mm travel actuator.

The motion on both goniometers can be securely locked using a hex screw on the side of the goniometer.
