X-axis dovetail groove slide — manual linear stage designed for precise, durable positioning Key benefits Precise small-range positioning: 40 mm displacement gives controlled travel for fine adjustments. Reliable repeatability: scale level 01mm for consistent, measurable moves. Lightweight yet strong: aluminum alloy construction reduces weight while maintaining rigidity for industrial use. Durable, professional finish: anodized black surface resists wear and improves corrosion resistance while keeping a low-profile look. Easy integration: dovetail X-axis design mounts cleanly to fixtures and assemblies for straightforward installation. What this solves Eliminates unstable or imprecise adjustments when aligning small components. Reduces setup time for equipment that requires repeatable, incremental motion. Provides a compact, robust solution where heavier stages are unnecessary but accuracy is required. Important attributes Function: manual linear stage with dovetail groove for X-axis motion. Travel: 40 mm displacement. Scale/Resolution: scale level 01mm for each readable increment. Material: aluminum alloy for a balance of strength and lightness. Finish: anodized black for added protection and a professional appearance. Compatibility: designed for common industrial fixtures, optical setups, and custom assemblies that accept dovetail mount stages. Specific use scenarios Optical fiber alignment: make small, repeatable adjustments to fiber positions during splicing or connector alignment to optimize signal coupling. Equipment fixtures and test rigs: mount sensors or small instruments on the stage to fine-tune position in mechanical test setups or calibration benches. Motion correction and lab alignment: use for precise lateral corrections in laser paths, microscopes, or photonics experiments where compact, accurate travel is required. Why choose this slide Practical accuracy in a compact form factor — suitable for labs, production lines, and OEM equipment. Durable anodized aluminum construction provides longevity without adding unnecessary mass. Straightforward, manual control with measurable increments helps standardize procedures and reduces setup variability. What to expect in use Smooth manual motion across 40 mm with visible scale markings at 01mm intervals. Secure, repeatable positioning when mounted via the dovetail interface. A durable black anodized finish that holds up to routine handling and installation.
