Thorlabs MT402 Right Angle Translation Stage Bracket For MT Series 2.4 x 2.4in

Description:

The Thorlabs MT402 Right Angle Translation Stage Bracket is used in precision optomechanical systems to mount two MT Series translation stages at a 90-degree angle for constructing XZ and XYZ positioning assemblies. Commonly installed in optical benches, laser alignment systems, microscopy platforms, spectroscopy equipment, photonics laboratories, and OEM instrumentation requiring rigid multi-axis translation. Optical engineers, laboratory technicians, and system integrators use this bracket for multi-axis stage assembly, precision alignment, laboratory upgrades, and replacement of stage mounting hardware.

Applications:

The Thorlabs MT402 provides a rigid right-angle interface between compatible MT Series translation stages, enabling accurate orthogonal positioning while maintaining stage alignment through precision alignment pins. It is widely used to build XZ and XYZ translation systems for laser beam alignment, optical component positioning, microscopy, metrology, semiconductor inspection, and scientific research applications requiring stable and repeatable motion.
