Thorlabs' NanoFlex™ flexure stages are compact stages that offer translation without friction or sticking. The flexure mechanism used in these translation stages is a frictionless mechanism that has improved positioning and resolution when compared to similar stages made using bearings. The translation of the stage is accomplished by the elastic deformation (flexing) of a linkage attached to the mounting platform. The translation stage has a manual translation range of 1.5 mm with an independent piezoelectric translation range of 25 μm (see the Selection Guide tab for stages with 5 mm manual translation). Piezo connection is made by a standard SMC terminal. See the Selection Guide tab for our 1.5 mm manual translation stage.
The NanoFlex™ flexure stages are rated for a maximum load of 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs), which makes them an ideal choice for many laboratory and OEM applications. The modular design allows for multiple stages to be stacked in multi-axis configurations. An XYZ configuration can be constructed using three NF15AP25(/M) stages and an NF15P2(/M) angle bracket.

These specifications are for the stage used in a single-axis configuration. When translation stages are stacked to make multi-axis configurations the resolution of the positioning system is deteriorated by cosine and Abbe errors (crosstalk). The positioning error cause by the stacked stages not being orthogonal to each other is referred to as the cosine error while the Abbe error is due to the non-zero height of the stacked stage. This height leads to an amplification of any angular roll, pitch, or yaw errors in the base stage. These errors can be avoided by using a multi-axis translation stage where the degrees of freedom are controlled by parallel linkages. A variety of 3, 4, 5, and 6 axis stages can be purchased from Thorlabs in a wide variety of manual and automated configurations. For a 3-axis solution, consider our 3-axis flexure stages.

 (posted 2024-03-02 16:04:19.423) Could you provide me a drawing with the travel direction for the piezo? I'm not sure I'm using in the correct way
Thanks spolineni
 (posted 2024-03-07 11:22:39.0) Thank you for your query. The travel direction is parallel with the advancement direction of the thumb screw adjuster. Nonetheless, I will contact you to provide a drawing for a more detailed understanding. Shay Keren-Zur
 (posted 2023-06-13 20:57:09.98) Hi,
I recently purchased the KPZNF15 stage bundle.
I realize that the control parameter is voltage, but I cannot find any reference regarding to the relation between the voltage value and the translation of the stage.
I'd be happy if you could support me on this matter.
Thanks,
Shay do'neill
 (posted 2023-06-15 07:59:49.0) Response from Daniel at Thorlabs. As there is no feedback for this stage it is not possible to equate a voltage to a position due to non linearity and more importantly hysteresis. It is possible to estimate the position as a linear relationship with the total travel range but to accurately know the position you will need to use some external way of measuring the position or choose a closed loop piezo stage Ben Carey
 (posted 2023-03-30 07:58:46.413) Hi I'm interested in using an NFP15AP25 to move a mirror. I already own an MDT694B piezo controller. I see the KPZ101 is the recommended driver for the stage. Is there any advantage to using the KPZ101 or will I be fine with the MDT694B? do'neill
 (posted 2023-03-31 11:07:11.0) Response from Daniel at Thorlabs. The compatible controllers for the NF15AP25 are the KPZ101, BPC301, BPC303, MDT694B, and MPZ601. The is no issue in using the MDT694B to control this stage. I will reach out to you to discuss your application. Xu yan
 (posted 2021-10-21 06:00:10.767) Hi, I recently bought an NF15AP25/M piezo stage with an NF15P1 adapter and a KPZ101 K-cube controller.
I fixed a mirror on the piezoelectric stage as an arm of the interferometer, but the mirror is very easy to shake and cause the interference fringe to shake. Is there any way to solve it?
In addition, I use KPZ101 for every 0.01V increase in voltage and the actual displacement is about 1.5nm instead of 0.76nm. What is the reason? YLohia

 (posted 2021-08-05 04:51:47.107) Hi, I recently bought an NF15AP25/M piezo stage with an NF15P1 adapter and a KPZ101 K-cube controller.
When I go from 0 to 75V using the K-cube controller, the piezo stage moves by approximately 15 µm instead of the 25 µm expected. Do you know where the problem may come from? DJayasuriya

can the thumbscrew adjuster be replaced with a lock-able adjuster? cwright
 (posted 2020-08-10 10:12:03.0) Response from Charles at Thorlabs: Hello Matthias and thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately this is not something we can offer as a special request at this time but I will reach out to you to discuss how you may be able to add similar functionality. loo
 (posted 2016-03-09 17:13:11.81) Nothing seem attached from beneath the top plate of the flexure stage, beside the two screws to the square frame. So, is it possible to unscrew the top plate of the stage to have it machined, and then put it back together without damage? Or even unscrew it and replace it completely with a custom top plate of ours? besembeson
 (posted 2016-03-10 03:22:28.0) Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: No that is not possible. The top plate is also connected to the flexure mechanism inside. Removing that top plate could also cause misalignment so you are better off having a custom adapter plate to use on the top plate. gesuele
 (posted 2014-01-09 05:15:33.373) I am wondering if the NF15AP25 can be used as a raster scanning stage (two of them for XY scanning). What would be the maximum scanning rate? msoulby
 (posted 2014-01-09 05:39:13.0) Response from Mike at Thorlabs: Yes, using two of the NF15AP25 stages in an XY configuration can be programed to perform a raster scan. To do this you would need to use a programming environment such as Labview or Matlab using the ActiveX methods provided with our APT software. I have contacted you directly with an example of a 2D piezo raster scan LabView .VI and a guide on how to use our APT software in Labview.
Regarding the maximum scan rate this depends on the capacitance of the piezo element and the maximum output current of the piezo driver. Using the TPZ001 piezo controller, which has an output of 7.5mA a full scan from 0-75V (which represents zero to maximum piezo displacement of 0-25um), will give a maximum bandwidth of about 6Hz, for a sinusoidal input. Using the BPC301 which has an output drive current of 0.5A a maximum sinusoidal bandwidth for this piezo stage will be about 420Hz, full details can be found on the ‘Piezo Bandwidth’ tab on the TPZ001 product page. cwilson

Direct Drive Stages
These low-profile stages feature integrated brushless DC servo motors for high speed translation with zero backlash. When no power is applied, the platforms of these stages have very little inertia and are virtually free running. Hence these stages may not be suitable for applications where the stage's platform needs to remain in a set position when the power is off. We do not recommend mounting these stages vertically.

- Build XY, XZ, and XYZ Configured Stages
- Angle Bracket for Vertical Mounting
The NF15P1(/M) and NF15P2(/M) are adapter plates designed for the NF15(/M) Series of translation stages. The NF15P1(/M) is a special base plate designed to fit the NF15 Series translation stages with slots on the side that enable obstruction-free mounting onto an optical breadboard. This base is ideal for XY or XYZ multi-axis configurations where the standard counterbores in the middle of the stages are obstructed.
The NF15P2(/M) is an angle bracket that allows a NF15 Series stage to be mounted vertically. This is necessary in some XY and all XYZ configurations.
