0.5" Travel, 0.001" Grad. Mic. Drive F-Face by Edmund Optics

Important Concepts for Selecting Manual Translation Stages Edmund Optics offers a variety of ball bearing, crossed roller bearing, dovetail, and rack and pinion translation stages for linear translation, rotary, and tip-tilt movement. Multi-Axis Translation Stage Configurations: Part I: X-Y Setup Learn how to make repeatable adjustments in more than one direction for any demanding optics, imaging, or photonics application with this simple, three minute video. Multi-Axis Translation Stage Configurations: Part II: X-Y-Z Setup Continuing from where Part I: X-Y Setup ends, learn how to add a Z-axis to an existing X-Y configuration to achieve three degrees of freedom. Translation Stage Specifications to Know To select the best translation stage, it is important to understand key specifications such as resolution, load capacity, travel, accuracy, repeatability, and wobble. How do I mount a ball bearing linear translation stage to a breadboard table? Do you sell X-Z translation stages? What is "straight line accuracy"? How do I read the load capacity specification for the ball bearing stages? Are your stages vacuum compatible? What are the basic differences between your dovetails, rack and pinions, and ball bearing stages?
