Rotary Stages
Rotary positioning stages are devices with tables or shafts that may be rotated to any angular position. They may be driven or simple slides.
Linear Slides and Linear Stages
Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis.
Crossed Roller Slides
Crossed roller slides are simple linear motion devices that consist of a stationary base and a moving carriage. The rollers are crossed at a 90° angle in an alternating fashion and are enclosed in the rails, which have a machined V-shaped groove to support the rollers.
Dovetail Slides
Dovetail slides are linear motion devices that allow motion and positioning along a linear axis.
