DSM Series Dovetail Manual Linear Stages, 13–100 mm Travel, Lead Screw Drive
DSM SeriesDesign Tools
Aluminum dovetail linear stages with ground lead screw drive, side vernier scale and locking for steady manual positioning.
DSM series manual linear stages are made of black anodized aluminum alloy and combine a dovetail guide with a ground lead screw drive for high load capacity and fine sensitivity. The fine screw pitch gives a slow adjustment rate, and the small screw diameter makes the series better suited to short and medium travels. A vernier scale on the side and a lock are standard.
Key Features
- Dovetail guide with high load capacity: up to 10 kg horizontal, 5 kg central
- Ground lead screw drive (φ6 × 0.5, φ6 × 1 or φ8 × 1) for fine adjustment
- Side vernier scale with 0.1 mm minimum reading
- Locking function for positional stability
- Travel 13, 20, 25, 50 or 100 mm; 20 mm stage thickness
- Black anodized aluminum alloy body, center drive
Typical Applications
- General manual positioning of optics and fixtures
- Laboratory optical setups
- Positioning tasks that need a lockable setting
- Coarse alignment of optomechanical assemblies
