Product description
The Cryo Positioning Stage High Resonance (CPSHR) is a XYZ positioning stage developed for use in a cryo-vacuum environment. Parallel kinematics result in a light and stiff stage with very high internal resonance frequencies, making it less sensitive to floor vibrations (read our application note on Cavity Stability Measurements). The CPSHR1 is the most compact design with small stroke and high resonances. The CPSHR2 has large stroke and improved thermal conductivity but lower resonances. The CPSHR3 combines the best of both worlds with large stroke, further optimized thermal conductivity and high resonances.

| * Typical volume for positioning. Due to the parallel kinematics the indicated max values are not necessarily simultaneously achievable. On the other hand max values can be bigger when strokes along other axes are limited. | ||||||||||
| ** Endstops are placed close to, but not coincident with each actuator motion axis. Together they define a system z-position, with x and y being 0. Touching multiple endstops in an uncontrolled manner with x and y not being 0 can cause the system to jam and could require manual action to free it. | ||||||||||
| *** Linear resolution can be found by dividing the spindle pitch by PPR (pulses per revolution) | ||||||||||
