A subject support () of an imaging system () includes a tabletop () that supports a subject or object in an examination region of the imaging system, a base (), including a mechanical linear actuator (), and a coupling () that mechanically couples the tabletop and the linear mechanical actuator such that the linear mechanical actuator translates the tabletop with respect to the examination region. The coupling rotates in two directions and translates in two directions, thereby providing four degrees of freedom, compensating for at least one of machining inaccuracies or misalignment of the linear mechanical actuator.
