Thorlabs' PSY502 Free-Standing Lab Bench has a 1400 mm x 600 mm work surface to provide additional preparation or storage space in the lab. The bench is designed to have a nominal work surface height of 934 mm making it compatible with the Nexus® Optical Table Workstation's lean bars. Additionally, the steel support frame can support loads up to 350 kg and has leveling feet for height adjustments up to ±25.0 mm. Two ports with removable covers are provided for managing cables.
As shown in the photo to the right, two brackets are included to attach the bench directly to the Nexus workstation's lean bars. The brackets can be mounted to any side of the bench using the included M8 screws, thus allowing for it to be placed in any orientation around the workstation. The bench will not interfere with the isolated work surface when attached to the workstation's lean bars.
Optical Table Workstation Accessory Compatibility
Any post-mountable workstation accessory, including shelving, storage, or monitor and keyboard mounts, can be attached to the bench using the rear-located Ø17.5 mm through holes. The bench also includes four M6 x 1.0 tapped mounting holes along the front and rear of the supporting frame. These mounting holes allow various accessories, such as 12-outlet power strips, light strips, or cable trays, to be attached to the edge of the bench.
Casters can be mounted to the bottom rails of the desk to convert it into a mobile workstation. A 19" rack chassis can also be attached to the desk using the PSY177 brackets, available below.

- Locking Mechanism Prevents Unintentional Movement
- Max Load: 320 kg (704 lbs) (Set of Four)
These Casters attach to the bottom of a lab bench to convert it into a mobile workstation. Once the bench is in the desired location, a foot can be lowered on each leg of the frame to provide a stable work environment. The casters also feature a locking mechanism to prevent inadvertent movement when the frame's feet are not lowered. They are sold in a Set of Four.
