MHW-3 NARISHIGE 3-axis water micromanipulator

The MHW-3 is a water hydraulic micromanipulator with less drift than oil systems. Its integrated 5:1 cartridge ensures optimum stability and minimal drift. Its rigid conduit ensures fast, accurate handling, complemented by a robust ball joint. The large drum-type control unit ensures precise operation and high linear repeatability. The MHW-3 can be mounted directly on an isolation table or securely fixed using a slim magnetic base, such as the GJ-12 (sold separately). It is compatible with various accessories, such as the AP-12A/AP-13-2 head holders and the B-9 head (included). In combination with the MHW-4 hydraulic shaft micromanipulator (sold separately), it offers remote-controlled movement in four dimensions.
