Thorlabs' PR005(/M) Compact Rotation Stage provides precise, fine rotation for small optomechanical assemblies. While the locking screw is unlocked, the stage can be smoothly and continuously rotated by hand through a full 360°, measured by the 5° graduation marks on the side of the mount. The screw labeled ENGAGE FINE ADJUST can be tightened to prevent coarse movement and allow ±6° of fine adjustment via the 6-80 fine adjuster screw. Tightening the screw labeled LOCK prevents any movement of the stage. All three screws accept a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex key or balldriver.
As shown in the drawing to the right, the rotating platform features one 8-32 (M4) tapped hole at its center, surrounded by eight 4-40 (M3) tapped holes. The stage attaches to an optical table or breadboard using the three 1/4" (M6) counterbored mounting holes.
The PR005(/M) stage has the same load capacity as the PR01(/M) high-precision rotation stage with a much smaller footprint.

 (posted 2020-11-30 08:13:53.24) Dear Sir or Madam,
could you please tell me the approximate max. horizontal load if we we use the PR005/M upside down?
We would like to flip the device (180°), that means that there will be a pull force instead of a push force on the bearings.
Kind regards,
Thomas Schönfelder llamb

While we do not have a formal spec for upside down loads, you can expect a similar load capacity as when the stage is mounted flat on a table. I have reached out to you directly to discuss your loading conditions further. |
Rotation Mount and Stage Selection Guide
Thorlabs offers a wide variety of manual and motorized rotation mounts and stages. Rotation mounts are designed with an inner bore to mount a Ø1/2", Ø1", or Ø2" optic, while rotation stages are designed with mounting taps to attach a variety of components or systems. Motorized options are powered by a DC Servo motor, 2 phase stepper motor, piezo inertia motor, or an Elliptec™ resonant piezo motor. Each offers 360° of continuous rotation.
