Parker 4022 Precision Ball Bearing X-y Stage 25 Lb

Product Description

The PARKER 4022 is a precision ball bearing X-Y stage table designed for applications requiring controlled linear motion with high load capacity and repeatable positioning. With a 25-pound load capacity and 0.5 inches of travel, this table uses a center drive mechanism to deliver smooth, precise movement across both axes. The compact footprint measures 1.75 inches long by 1.75 inches wide by 0.75 inches high, making it well-suited for tight-space installations. Eight 6-32 threaded mounting holes provide secure attachment in a variety of fixture configurations. This component is typically installed by mechanical engineers, automation technicians, and precision instrument specialists.

The PARKER 4022 is used in laboratory instrumentation, optical alignment stages, metrology equipment, and light-duty automation fixtures. The X-Y stage configuration allows independent travel along two perpendicular axes from a single tabletop platform. The center drive design distributes load evenly and reduces side-load stress on the bearing assembly. Applications include positioning fixtures in research settings, inspection equipment, and small-scale motion control systems where precise, repeatable travel is required.

Key Features

• 25-pound load capacity supports demanding positioning tasks in compact setups
• 0.5 inches of travel per axis via center drive mechanism
• Precision ball bearing construction for smooth, low-friction movement
• X-Y stage configuration enables two-axis positioning from one platform
• Eight 6-32 threaded mounting holes for versatile fixture attachment
• Compact 1.75 by 1.75 by 0.75 inch envelope fits space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for precision linear motion systems requiring a 6-32 mount hole pattern and a 25-pound capacity X-Y ball bearing stage.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automation technicians or precision instrument specialists using standard hand tools and thread-locking compound appropriate for 6-32 fasteners. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before seating the table to avoid misalignment that could bind the bearing assembly. Verify that the drive mechanism moves freely through its full 0.5-inch travel range before applying load. Do not exceed the rated 25-pound capacity, as overloading can damage the ball bearing races and reduce positioning accuracy.
