S-725

The S-725 uses a gimbal mount at the front that pivots as the X or Z leadscrews are turned. These leadscrews put pressure against the leaf springs, noting the springs are not identical.

To disassemble for leadscrew cleaning, loosen the gimbal and gently pull out the arm assembly. You do not need to remove the leaf springs. I also disconnected the final head on the pivot head so that I could fully detach the arm, which was connected via a cable epoxied to the case.

S-930

Has a fine and a coarse adjustment knob. The coarse knobs was seized on all three surplus units mcmaster purchased.


Stripped out screws on side. Smaller than 2-56, might be 0-80. Was maybe going to loctite them in but found parts unit on eBay, going to try to combine. Also looked into heli-cal but couldn't quickly find one of that size (also thread size not confirmed)

Economy micropositioners

Mcmaster signatone s-600 s-750 complete.jpg

Above: 3 S-750 at left, 2 S-600 at right

Low resolution, maybe 10 um.

The S-600 was discontinued in favor of the S-750.

The handle is compatible between the economy positioners. The finer knurled handle is the original one I had while the coarser grained ones were purchased in 2018.

"Economy Micropositioner" "The model S-750 was developed specifically for contacting larger areas (Pads)"

Stats:

  • Joystick ratio 9:1
  • Probe scanning area 0.100” x 0.180”
  • Vertical movement “Z” 0.50”
  • Probe pressure: 10 grams
