Featuring a superior drive chain for improved motion sensitivity and repeatability, Newport’s MFA linear stages offer a stronger motor that produces almost ten times faster motion than the popular MFN series they succeed. Despite these advances, the length of the motor block has been reduced by 7 mm.

Designed for space-limited applications and compact multi-axis assemblies, MFA linear stages supply very high resolution, single axis translation in a low-cost motorized package. Typical applications include fiber optic alignment, laser research, biomedical applications and inspection systems.

Two variants of MFA linear stages are available:

· MFA-CC features a miniature DC motor with integrated gearbox and a motor-mounted high-resolution rotary encoder with 2,048 cts/rev. It is designed for applications that require small incremental motion with high dynamic speed range and good repeatability.

· The stepper motor version MFA-PP is an affordable solution for less demanding applications and is compatible with new NSC100 NewStep controller.
