PDR1C(/M) Rotation Stage Features
Dimensions for the metric stage are given in parentheses.

• Continuous 360° Rotation at Speeds Up to 100°/s When Driven with the PDXC or PDXC2 Controller
• Typical Step Size: 30 µrad When Driven with the PDXC or PDXC2 Controller
• Platform Size: Ø1.10" (Ø28.0 mm)
• Platform Height: 18.0 mm
• Compact Footprint: 30.0 mm x 30.0 mm
• Integrated 1 m (3.3 ft) Cable with Female SMC Connector
• Requires a PDXC, PDXC2, KIM001, or KIM101 Piezo Controller (Sold Separately Below)

The PDR1C(/M) ORIC^® Open-Loop Piezo Inertia Compact Rotation Stage can operate at speeds up to 100°/s with no backlash and with a typical step size of 30 µrad when driven with the PDXC or PDXC2 controller; when driven with the KIM001 or KIM101 controllers, the stage can operate at speeds up to 30°/s and a typical step size of 150 µrad. The piezo inertia drive is self-locking when the stage is at rest and no power is supplied to the piezo. These features make the PDR1C(/M) stage ideal for set-and-hold applications that require resolutions smaller than a milliradian and long-term alignment stability.

Mounting Features
The PDR1C(/M) stage can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Three sides of the stage each have one 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) tapped hole for mounting to a Ø1/2" post. We recommend using SS8S038 (SS4MS10) setscrews when mounting the stage on a Ø1/2" post to not exceed the depth of these holes (3.5 mm [0.14"]). Two #2 (M2) mounting slots, located on opposite corners of the stage, can be used to mount the stage to a flat, even surface (flatness ≤5 μm is recommended) or to one of our ORIC 20 mm linear stages when constructing an XY + rotation configuration.

The rotating top plate features four 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) threaded holes, four 4-40 threaded holes for compatibility with 16 mm cage systems, and a 1/4"-20 (M6 x 1.0) thru hole in the center for mounting optomech or for applications that require an optical path to pass through the body of the stage; the clear aperture of the center hole is Ø0.19" (Ø4.9 mm).

Compatible Accessories
The PD1B(/M), PD1B2(/M), PD1U(/M), and PD1B3(/M) adapter plates each provide a flat surface for mounting the PDR1C(/M) stage; each plate also offers a unique variety of additional mounting features. The PD1T(/M) adapter plate can be mounted below the PDR1C(/M) stage and features a central 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) tapped hole for post mounting. The PD1Z(/M) right-angle bracket allows the PDR1C(/M) stage to be mounted in an XY+θ_Y rotation configuration.

Each stage has an integrated 1.0 m cable; the PAA101 1.5 m SMC extension cable and T5026 male-to-male SMC adapter can be used to extend the cable length. Due to the capacitance of the cables, please note that the total length of the control cable should not exceed 2.5 m.

Required Controller
A PDXC Piezo Inertia Stage Controller, PDXC2 Compact Piezo Inertia Stage Controller, KIM001 Single-Channel K-Cube^® Piezo Inertia Motor Controller, or KIM101 Four-Channel K-Cube Piezo Inertia Motor Controller, available below, is required to operate this stage; the piezo inertia drive cannot be driven using a standard piezo controller. The PDXC2AD female d-sub to male SMC adapter cable is needed to use this stage with the PDXC2 controller. The KIM101 controller must be the 2019 or newer version and have firmware revision 010004 or higher installed. Earlier versions of this controller or those with older firmware will not function properly and may cause failure of the stage and/or the controller. The previous-generation TIM101 controller is not compatible. The specifications for this stage were measured using the PDXC and PDXC2 benchtop controller and the KIM101 K-Cube controller; the KIM001 controller provides similar performance to the KIM101 controller. Since the PDXC and PDXC2 operate at higher frequencies but output a lower maximum voltage than the K-Cube controllers, they can drive the PDR1C(/M) stage at a higher speed with a smaller step size and lower driving torque.

Note: During operation, the stage makes a high-pitch noise and may generate some heat. This is normal behavior in the performance of the device and does not indicate a fault condition.

The ORIC^® Open-Loop Piezo Inertia Rotation Stage can operate at speeds up to 20°/s with no backlash and with a typical step size of 250 µrad. The piezo inertia drive is self-locking when the stage is at rest and no power is supplied to the piezo. These features make the PDR1(/M) stage ideal for set-and-hold applications that require resolutions smaller than a milliradian and long-term alignment stability.

Mounting Features
The PDR1(/M) stage can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Ø6 mm through holes at each corner accept ER cage rods, allowing the rotation stage to be incorporated into a 30 mm cage system, mounted on our ORIC 50 mm linear stage using a PD3T(/M) adapter plate, or mounted to a breadboard using a PD1B3(/M) universal mounting adapter (sold below). The rods are secured in place with 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrews. Additionally, two sides of the stage each have one 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) tapped hole for mounting to a Ø1/2" post.

The bottom of each stage has two 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) tapped holes spaced 1" (25.0 mm) apart that can be used to mount the stage to a flat, even surface or to one of our ORIC 20 mm linear stages when constructing an XY + rotation configuration. Note that when mounting the stage using these holes, the mounting surface must have a flatness of ≤20 µm.

The rotating top plate features four 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) holes and four holes for Ø2 mm dowel pins that can be used for mounting components or an ORIC linear stage. Thorlabs also offers replacement dowel pins in packs of 20 below. SM05 (0.535"-40) internal threads in the center of the top plate surround a Ø9 mm (0.35") bore through the center of the stage, enabling applications that require an optical path to pass through the body of the stage.

Compatible Accessories
The UBP2(/M) adapter plate features a central 1/4" (M6) slot, four 4-40 tapped holes spaced for 30 mm cage systems, and an array of additional mounting holes. The PD1U(/M) adapter plate provides a convenient means of mounting a PDR1(/M) rotation stage on top of a PD1(/M) linear translation stage.

Each stage has an integrated 1.0 m cable; the PAA101 1.5 m SMC extension cable and T5026 male-to-male SMC adapter can be used to extend the cable length. Due to the capacitance of the cables, please note that the total length of the control cable should not exceed 2.5 m.

Required Controller
A KIM001 Single-Channel K-Cube^® Piezo Inertia Motor Controller or KIM101 Four-Channel K-Cube Piezo Inertia Motor Controller, available below, is required to operate these stages; the piezo inertia drives cannot be driven using a standard piezo controller. The KIM101 controller must be the 2019 or newer version and have firmware revision 010004 or higher installed. Earlier versions of the controller or those with older firmware will not function properly and may cause failure of the stage and/or the controller. The previous-generation TIM101 controller is not compatible. The specifications for this stage were measured using the KIM101 K-Cube Controller; similar performance is provided by the KIM001 controller.

The ORIC^® Open-Loop Piezo Inertia Rotation Stage can operate at speeds up to 20°/s with no backlash and with a typical step size of 250 µrad. The piezo inertia drive is self-locking when the stage is at rest and no power is supplied to the piezo. These features make the PDR1V(/M) stage ideal for set-and-hold applications that require resolutions smaller than a milliradian and long-term alignment stability.

This stage is vacuum compatible down to 10^-6 Torr. It is recommended that before the unit and any adapter plates are installed in the vacuum chamber, all components are pre-baked to remove volatile compounds and moisture from the unit, which could potentially spoil the vacuum. During the pre-bake, the temperature must be limited to 120 °C. The stage has an integrated 0.75 m long vacuum-compatible cable with flying leads for connecting the actuator to the vacuum chamber bulkhead. The leads are PTFE-coated, 30 AWG wires; the red lead is positive and the white lead is negative. A 1.0 m dual-core cable with an SMC connector is also included.

Mounting Features
The PDR1V(/M) stage can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Ø6 mm through holes at each corner accept ER cage rods, allowing the rotation stage to be incorporated into a 30 mm cage system, mounted on our ORIC 50 mm linear stage using a PD3T(/M) adapter plate, or mounted to a breadboard using a PD1B3(/M) universal mounting adapter (sold below).

The PDXR1(/M) ORIC^® piezo inertia rotation stage with an optical encoder is able to operate in both open- and closed-loop modes, can support loads up to 1 kg, and operate at speeds up to 30°/s with no backlash. The piezo inertia drive is self-locking when the stage is at rest and no power is supplied to the piezo, making these actuators ideal for set-and-hold applications that require resolutions smaller than a milliradian and long-term alignment stability. See the Specs tab for detailed specifications.

Mounting Features
The PDXR1(/M) stage can be mounted vertically or horizontally. #8 (M4) counterbores at two opposite corners provide compatibility with MSB34 (MSB7510/M) Breadboards, Ø1/2" posts, or Ø1" posts with 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) taps. On the underside of the stage, two 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) threaded mounting holes are available on the opposite corners. Additionally, one side of the stage has a 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) tapped hole for mounting to a Ø1/2" post. The stage should be placed on a surface with flatness ≤5 µm and the corner screws tightened to 0.55 N•m for optimal performance. The PD1B3(/M) (sold below) mounting adapter provides a mounting surface with precise flatness to avoid warping. When mounting the stage on a flat surface with a flatness of >5 µm, such as the high-density breadboards above or an optical table using thread adapters, the recommended screw torque is 0.3 N•m.

The rotating top plate features four 8-32 (M4 x 0.7) holes, four 2-56 (M2 x 0.4) holes, and four holes for Ø2 mm dowel pins that can be used for mounting components or an ORIC linear stage. Thorlabs also offers replacement dowel pins in packs of 20 below. Four 4-40 threaded holes provide compatibility with 30 mm cage systems and SM05 (0.535"-40) internal threads in the center of the top plate surround a Ø9 mm (0.35") bore through the center of the stage, enabling applications that require an optical path to pass through the body of the stage.

Mechanical Drawing for the PD1B3(/M) Adapter Plate. See the table on the left for descriptions of the hole labels. Dimensions for the metric version of the adapter plate are given in parentheses.

• Provide Flat Surface for Mounting ORIC Stages
• Passivated Stainless Steel Construction
• Reduces Stage Warping When Mounting to Table or Breadboard
• Dimensions (L x W x H): (65.0 mm x 65.0 mm x 10.0 mm)

Thorlabs' PD1B3(/M) Universal Adapter Plate provides a flat surface (flatness ≤5 µm) for mounting any of the ORIC piezo inertia stages. Mounting holes are labeled in the mechanical drawing on the bottom right corresponding to the table below. The four 4-40 threaded holes are 30 mm cage system compatible, and two 1/4"-20 (M6) screws are included for mounting to breadboards.

If the stage is mounted on a surface with >5 µm flatness (as with most breadboards and optical tables), the velocity variation and pitch/yaw of the stage may suffer due to the stage warping. Mounting the stage on the adapter drastically reduces the amount the stage warps when mounted on a table or breadboard with insufficient flatness.
