The DS40-Z Compact Dovetail Linear Stage is preferred for small 0.20 inch Z travel applications where set, lock, and forget is required. It is much less susceptible to shock and vibration than bearing stages. This DS series dovetail stage incorporates precision preloaded dovetail slides with an 80 TPI drive screw for precision positioning, hex head adjustment for tamper resistance, and an integral locking mechanism for high stability. The compact 1.57 x 1.57 x 1.38 inch size and critical features of this stage makes it ideal for OEM applications. The modularity allows reconfiguration for research applications. Slotted base plates are available for mounting these stages to an optical table hole pattern.
