Parker M4522M Precision Ball Bearing Stage 29 Kg 13mm

Product Description

The PARKER M4522M is a precision ball bearing linear positioning table designed for applications requiring accurate, repeatable linear motion. The unit features a center drive mechanism and is built to carry loads up to 29 kilograms. Travel is rated at 13mm, making this table suited to fine-positioning tasks where controlled, short-stroke movement is critical. Eight M5 mounting holes provide secure fixation to a base structure or frame. The table measures 66.5mm (approximately 2.618 inches) long by 66.5mm (approximately 2.618 inches) wide by 25.4mm (approximately 1 inch) high and weighs approximately 2.4 pounds. Installation is performed by mechanical assembly technicians or precision automation specialists.

This table is used in precision motion control setups, including X-Y stage configurations where two axes of controlled linear movement are required. It is well suited to laboratory automation, optical alignment, inspection systems, and light industrial positioning equipment. The ball bearing construction supports smooth, low-friction travel across the full 13mm stroke. Its compact footprint and eight-hole mounting pattern allow integration into tight mechanical assemblies where consistent positioning accuracy is required.

Key Features

• 29 kilogram load capacity supports moderate-duty precision positioning tasks
• 13mm linear travel range with ball bearing guided motion for repeatability
• Center drive configuration for balanced load distribution along the travel axis
• 8 M5 mounting holes allow rigid, multi-point fastening to base plates or frames
• Compact body at approximately 2.618 inches long by 2.618 inches wide by 1 inch high
• Compatible with X-Y stage setups when two units are stacked orthogonally

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision linear stage for use in X-Y positioning assemblies and motion control systems requiring M5 hardware mounting and short-stroke ball bearing travel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanical technician or automation engineer using standard metric hand tools. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and flat before fastening to prevent binding or misalignment across the travel stroke. Torque all M5 fasteners evenly in a cross pattern to avoid racking the stage body. Disconnect and de-energize any drive motor or actuator connected to the stage before performing maintenance or repositioning work.
