NanoLockSpray xyz adjuster stage micrometer screw does not work - WKB74243
Article number: 74243
SYMPTOMS
- The micrometer screw turns but the translation stage (x, y, or z) does not move
- The stage can be moved by hand, but the internal spring returns it back to the extreme end position
ENVIRONMENT
- NanoLockSpray source enclosure
- SYNAPT G2 QTof
CAUSE
The lead screw has broken free; spindle and adjuster knob spin without turning the inner spindle.
FIX or WORKAROUND
Order and replace part 8932374-S (TRANSLATION STAGE M-15.10). This is common part between Mark I and Mark II NanoLockSpray sources. Each of the 3 x-y-z stages share this subassembly.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FYI: If you decide to clean the lead screw nut and then glue/bond it instead of replacing it with a new assembly: Use the 13mm setting on the micrometer screw to have the holes on the other side aligned for connecting the next stage.
