Description
Newport 411-05S Miniature Linear Translation Stage XY Positioner Ball Bearing
The Newport 411-05S is a miniature precision linear translation stage designed for positioning tasks in opto-mechanical instrumentation and laboratory settings where a compact footprint is required. The translating platform rides on a precision-ground rail using ball bearings rolling between opposing pairs of hardened and ground steel rods. The stage is spring-preloaded for smooth, consistent travel, and the 80-pitch ball-tipped micrometer screw is spring-loaded against the platform for low-backlash, fine-resolution positioning.

Applications
The Newport 411 series miniature stages are used throughout photonics, laser optics, and opto-mechanical research where space is limited but positioning precision is required. Common applications include fiber alignment, beam steering, microscopy sample positioning, interferometry, and optical component alignment on breadboards and optical benches. The removable spring-drive assembly makes the 411-05S compatible with motorized actuators for automated or computer-controlled motion. Because the stages stack directly for XY motion without an adapter plate, they are a practical choice for compact two-axis positioning rigs. Newport has long been a standard supplier to university research labs, national laboratories, and semiconductor/photonics OEMs for this class of component.
This Newport 411-05S Miniature Linear Translation Stage was pulled from a working environment and appears to be in good used condition. The black anodized body looks clean in the photos with no obvious damage; the micrometer screw and knob are intact and the rail rods appear straight. It is sold as-is with no warranty. No manual or accessories are included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
