Q-522 Miniature Stage

 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE 

 

Warping of the Q-522 due to mounting on uneven surfaces! 

Mounting the Q-522 on an uneven surface can warp the Q-522. Warping reduces the 
accuracy. 

  Mount the Q-522 on an even surface. The recommended evenness of the 

surface is ≤2 µm. 

  For applications with great temperature changes: 

Only mount the Q-522 on surfaces that have the same or similar thermal 
expansion properties as the Q-522. 

  

 

INFORMATION 

 

The contact of the Q-522 with the protective earth conductor is made as follows: 

  Two counter-sunk holes in the base body of the Q-522 

  Suitable conductive screws (p. 13)  

  Protective earth conductor connected to the surface on which the Q-522 is 

mounted 

  

 

INFORMATION 

 

  Observe the applicable standards for mounting the protective earth conductor. 

  

 

Figure 8: Example Q-522.04z, left: View from below; right: View from top 

  

Two locating holes on the bottom side of the stage are used for alignment on a surface. 

Two M2 screws are used to mount the stage on the surface.
