Mounting direction / load capacity / overhang

Load capacity when mounted upside down

We are considering using various stages (X axis, horizontal Z axis, rotation, gonio)
by attaching to the ceiling.
How much does the load capacity deteriorate compared to the load capacity (horizontal placement)
described in the catalog?

The specifications of each product are based on the conditions when installed on a flat surface.
Because the load applied to the stage guide changes, it is not possible to clearly define the load
capacity when mounting with upside down.
However, we are showing the following informaiton only for reference.

◆ Possible to use if the load point is directly below the stage carrier (center).
The load capacity shall be less than one third (1/3) of the horizontal load capacity.
* When load is applied to outside of the stage carriage, it is impossible to determine standard
  load capacity, and use is not recommended.
・ X-axis stages
・ Horitontal-plane Z-axis stages
・ Goniometer stages
・Motorized rotary stages: KRW, KS402 Series

◆ Upside down use is not recommended
・ Motorized rotary stage: KS451, KRE04360/06360 series, KS421 series (discontinued)
・ Z-axis stage: KZS series

Load capacity when mounted vertically (Z-axis)

We are considering attaching various stages (X axis, horizontal plane Z axis, rotation, gonio)
to the bracket so as to use vertically (side vertical use).
How much does the load capacity deteriorate compared to the load capacity (horizontal placement)
described in the catalog?

■ X-axis stages:
If there is a model of Z-axis stage with bracket attached to the stage, please refer to the load
capacity of that stage . (Example: PG413-L24AG → PZG413-L05AG)

■ Other products:
The specifications of each product are based on the conditions when installed on a flat surface.

capacity when mounting with upside down .
However, we are showing the following informaiton only for reference.

◆ Possible to use if the load point is directly below the stage carrier (center).
The load capacity shall be less than one third (1/3) of the horizontal load capacity.
* When load is applied to outside of the stage carriage, it is impossible to determine standard
  load capacity, and use is not recommended.
・ Horitontal-plane Z-axis stages (connector to be in up and down directioni)
・ Goniometer stages
・Motorized rotary stages: KRW, KS402 Series

◆ Side vertical use is not recommended
・ Motorized rotary stage: KS451, KRE04360/06360 series, KS421 series (discontinued)

Load capacity when mounted on a wall moving horizontally

We are considering using various stages (X axis, horizontal plane Z axis, rotation, gonio) attached
to the bracket so that the moving direction of the stage is horizontal (side horizontal use).

described in the catalog?

・ X-axis stages
・ Horitontal-plane Z-axis stages (connector to be left-right position mounted on wall)
・ Goniometer stages
・Motorized rotary stages: KRW, KS402 Series

◆ Side horizontal use is not recommended
・ Motorized rotary stage: KS451, KRE04360/06360 series, KS421 series (discontinued)

KRE 04360 · 06360 in vertical direction

I would like to use the motorized rotation stage KRE04360 / 06360 vertically (side horizontal, side vertical) .

The KRE series can not be structually used in vertical direction or or in the condition
that overhang load is applied from the stage carriage.

For vertical use, please select the KRW · KS402 series.
* Please handle with load capacity 1/3 or less of specifications also in that case.
