Parker 4572 Precision Ball Bearing Table Side Drive

Product Description

The PARKER 4572 is a precision ball bearing linear table designed for controlled linear positioning in research, laboratory, and light industrial applications. It features a side drive configuration and delivers 0.5 inches of travel with a 62-pound load capacity. The table measures 2.56 inches long by 2.62 inches wide by 1 inch high and weighs 2 pounds. Eight 10-32 mounting holes allow secure, versatile attachment to fixtures, stages, or optical rails. This unit is typically installed by precision mechanics, lab technicians, or automation technicians who require repeatable, low-friction linear motion in a compact footprint.

The PARKER 4572 suits X-Y stage configurations where two axes of precision linear travel are needed in a stacked arrangement. Common applications include optical bench positioning, microscopy stages, sensor alignment fixtures, and light-duty automation equipment. Its compact dimensions and ball bearing construction make it well suited for environments where smooth, accurate travel is critical and available space is limited. The side drive design allows actuation from the side of the table, which can simplify integration into confined assemblies.

Key Features

• 62-pound load capacity for light industrial and laboratory positioning tasks
• 0.5 inches of linear travel with precision ball bearing construction for smooth, repeatable motion
• Side drive configuration supports actuation from the side of the table
• Eight 10-32 mounting holes provide flexible and secure mounting options
• Compact form factor: 2.56 inches long by 2.62 inches wide by 1 inch high
• Compatible with X-Y stage setups when two units are combined

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision linear table suitable for use in X-Y stage assemblies, optical positioning systems, and light-duty automation fixtures requiring 10-32 mounting hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by precision mechanics or automation technicians familiar with linear stage alignment. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before securing the table with fasteners through the 10-32 mount holes. Do not exceed the 62-pound rated load capacity. When integrating into an X-Y stage, verify that both axes are properly aligned and that drive mechanisms are engaged without binding before applying power or load.
