The Velmex XSlide is a compact positioning stage highly suitable for either high performance incrementing or scanning of smaller loads. Their compact design mkes them ideal for limited space applications. Constructed with hard-coat anodized, aluminum dovetail ways and smooth motion PTFE bearings; XSlides deliver higher rigidity for longer life and more precise movement when compared to other dovetail designs. XSlides have a load capacity of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg.) horizontally and 10 lbs. (4.5 kg.) vertically. Straight-line accuracy is 0.001″/10” (0.076 mm/25 cm). The carriage rides on the outside of the ways allowing for a more compact design and easier access for adjustments. With a cross-sectional profile of 1.88″ (48 mm) by 1.22″ (31 mm), the XSlide comes in eight standard travel lengths from 2″ (50 mm) to 30″ (76.2 cm). XSlides can be manually-operated or motor-driven. Note: Manual XSlides cannot be converted to motorized. They would need to be returned to the factory for conversion. Purchase a motor-ready version to add a separately purchased motor. Lead Screw with a Basic Knob – A single-axis XSlide assembly available in several lead screw pitches. Travel distances to 30 inches (76.2 cm).
