Nano XC3 Series Compact 3-Axis Flexure Positioning Stage

DescriptionProduct Description4 mm travel for X, Y, and Z axesFlexure design ensures smooth, continuous motion and long-term stabilityPreconfigured adjusters for manual coarse or fine adjustmentCompact dimensions: 77.5 × 74.0 × 62.4 mm (excluding actuators)Top plate with alignment grooves for multi-axis stage accessoriesAll adjusters mounted to a common base to minimize crosstalkModular design allows disassembly and replacement of external actuatorsIdeal for professional fiber coupling, fiber alignment, and waveguide positioning systemsThe modular design of the Nano XC3 3-axis stage allows actuators to be removed and replaced at any time. All actuators are directly coupled to the base, minimizing motion crosstalk. The parallel flexure design delivers precise, smooth, continuous motion with negligible friction. 3-Axis Flexure StageNano XC3-MANano XC3-MBNano XC3-MCAdjusterM6×0.5 adjustment screwSM13 micrometerDRP-C differential adjusterCoarse feed500 μm/rev500 μm/rev500 μm/revFine feed——300 μm fine travel, 50 μm/revTheoretical accuracy—10 μm10 μm (coarse), 1 μm (fine)Weight732.6 g589.4 g512.5 gDimensions77.5 × 74.0 × 62.4 mm (excl. actuators)77.5 × 74.0 × 62.4 mm (excl. actuators)77.5 × 74.0 × 62.4 mm (excl. actuators)Top plate size60.0 × 60.0 mm60.0 × 60.0 mm60.0 × 60.0 mmAdjustable travel4 mm (XYZ)4 mm (XYZ)4 mm (XYZ)Material7075 Aluminum Alloy7075 Aluminum Alloy7075 Aluminum Alloy Mounting Platform Bracket3X-AMDimensions56.0 × 62.5 × 62.5 mmThread types4×M2, 8×M3, 7×M4, 8×Ø3.5 mm countersunk holesWeight169.1 gMaterial7075 Aluminum Alloy 90° Right-Angle Top Platform3X-AM2Dimensions68.0 × 60.0 × 58.5 mmThread types16×M3, 11×M4, 4×Ø3.2 mm countersunk holesWeight93.0 gMaterial7075 Aluminum Alloy Fiber HolderHCS1Dimensions32.1 × 13.4 × 35.0 mmThread typeSM1 (1.035”-40) internal threadWeight22.8 gMaterial7075 Aluminum Alloy Fiber Fixing MountHCFCHCSMADimensions32.0 × 25.1 × 26.6 mm32.0 × 25.1 × 26.6 mmInterfaceFC, 2.2 mm wide keywaySMAWeight10.7 g10.9 gMaterial7075 Aluminum Alloy7075 Aluminum Alloy Bare Fiber ClampHC-HFDimensions32.0 × 15.0 × 27.8 mmClamping diameterØ150–341 μmThreaded holes2×M4Weight21.5 gMaterial7075 Aluminum AlloyTechnical NotesPrecision actuation: The Nano XC3 flexure stage with vernier micrometer adjusters offers 4 mm travel on X, Y, Z axes, with a maximum load of 1 kg. Nominal platform height is 62.4 mm. Coarse vernier scale has 10 μm divisions; fine adjustment accuracy is 1 μm, enabling precise reference positioning.A wide range of accessories is available for mounting microscope objectives, collimators, waveguides, fibers, and other components.Applications Fiber coupling: The 3X-AM platform bracket is widely used in fiber launch systems. Aspheric lenses mounted on it can replace longer microscope objectives. Its surface is ideal for mounting large or multiple components on flexure stage accessories.The fiber holder mounts directly to Nano XC3 3-axis stages. A central keyway along the top mounting surface enables quick reconfiguration of optical components while maintaining alignment.Probing simulation: In addition to flat top plates, the 3X-AM2 90° right-angle top platform is available. Installed after removing the original top plate, it allows fiber mounts and accessories to be attached to the side of the Nano XC3 stage.The V-groove fiber mount holds Ø150–341 μm fibers for butt coupling to small waveguide devices, secured by magnetic clamps. Its tapered top plate enables easy visual inspection of fiber-waveguide interfaces.Easy accessory alignment: The standard top plate features two 3 mm wide central notches for aligning multi-axis accessories. It includes 16×M3, 4×M2, and 9×M4 threaded holes for mounting rotary or long-travel linear stages. The two central slots support fast system reconfiguration while preserving alignment. The orthogonal pattern supports right-hand and left-hand configuration.AssemblyApplication ExamplesEngineering DrawingsHCSMA Engineering DrawingHCS1 Engineering DrawingHC-HF Engineering DrawingHCFC Engineering DrawingFH-VG Engineering Drawing3X-AM2 Engineering Drawing3X-AM Engineering Drawing
