Manual linear translation stages are designed to provide precise, high-resolution travel over any combination of the three linear degrees of freedom. More importantly, however, they constrain any form of movement in the other angular or linear degrees of freedom: pitch, yaw, roll, as well as x, y, or z-axis translation. Available with various materials and guide methods depending on requirements such as thickness, stiffness, accuracy, resolution and weight.
They are frequently used in applications such as microscopy, metrology, optical fiber alignment, optical delay lines, interferometry, or wherever exact linear position is required. Industries that utilize linear stages include research, bio-medical, life sciences, astronomy, metrology, semiconductor, and more. We offer the largest selection of linear translation stages to meet virtually any application. For example, we have the most bearing options of any manufacturer, including EXC™ precision bearing, ball bearing, crossed-roller bearing, linear bearing, and dovetail bearing. Additionally, they are available in materials ranging from brass, aluminum, tool steel and stainless steel.

 | We supply dovetail translation stages with leadscrew actuators and locking mechanism. Ideal stages for system integration where fine alignment is required, the stage is locked, and the system is sealed or closed. They are available in multiple stage sizes from 15x15mm-65x65mm. They are build out of brass and contain face-fitting positioning slide having trapezoidal male and female sections. | |
 | Crossed roller guide enables the high precision of a ball slide with the high stiffness and load capacity of a dovetail. The Aluminum body offers light-weight, with long travel options (TAMC Series). Line contact of rollers in a V groove rail offers high stiffness. In addition, low friction and almost no differential slip. | |
 | Linear stages based on extended contact ball bearing guide which provides high precision, load capacity, stiffness and durability. Available in 15, 25, 40, 60, 65, 80, 100, 120 mm square stage sizes |
