XYZ Linear Stage, Dovetail, 6.3 mm XY, 3.0 mm Z, 25 x25 mm, Metric

Dovetail stages are ideal for small, controlled travel to eventually remain locked in place for long time periods. These further compact version of the MT Dovetail stages also do not employ typical roller bearings of cylindrical rails, which makes them less susceptible to shock and vibration. These DS series dovetail stages slide along precision preloaded dovetail slides, whose unique shape ensures accurate, repeatable motion. These compact, modular stages are available in X, XY, or XYZ configurations with a lower footprint than the MT Dovetail series for the DS25 version.

Each stage come equipped with an 80 TPI hex-driven drive screw for precision positioning of 1 µm while maintaining a low footprint. The motion can then be locked in place using an additional hex-screw controlled locking mechanism that insures placement over long times.

Slotted base plates are available for versatile mounting of DS stages to optical tables or other stages. Please see the accessory section for more information.

The DS Series Linear Stages are compatible with RS Series Rotation Stages and GON Series Goniometric Stages of matching size (for example, RS40 with DS40, RS65 with DS65). They can be combined to provide multi-axis motion and can be easily adapted to fit a specific system's needs. A six-axis manual positioning system is shown using matched 65 x 65 mm stages.
