DTS50 50 mm Translation Stage
3.2.4 Fitting the Spacer Plate
A 5 mm (DTSA01) and a 10 mm (DTSA02) spacer plate are available to raise the
height of the top surface to 25 mm or 30 mm respectively.
To fit a spacer plate, refer to Fig. 3.3 and proceed as follows:
1) Adjust the actuator to position the moving carriage such that the mounting holes
in the base are clearly visible through the holes in the top plate.
2) Position the stage on the base plate, ensuring that the through holes in the spacer
plate are clearly visable through the holes in the top plate.
3) Fit four bolts (M6 x 15 or 1/4-20 x 1/2”, not supplied) through the holes in the top
platform and tighten to secure the stage to the work surface.
