TSX-M Linear Dovetail Translation Stage

Product Description

• Dovetail slide bearing enables a linear travel of ±12.5 mm
• Thumb knobs at both ends for travel adjustment
• Modular design for easy orthogonal assembly into XYZ 3-axis configurations
• Array of multi-threaded holes on the stage top maximizes mounting options for motion components

The TSX-M dovetail translation stage is suitable for general motion control applications, providing a 25 mm total travel with an M6×1 mm lead screw that delivers smooth linear positioning throughout the entire travel range. The lead screw moves the stage by 1 mm per revolution. A screw on the locking plate on the side of the stage secures the position to prevent accidental movement.

Technical Notes

 

The TSX-M dovetail translation stage is designed for general motion control applications, featuring a 25 mm travel and an M6×1 mm lead screw for smooth linear positioning across the full travel range. Each revolution of the lead screw results in a 1 mm stage movement. A locking screw on the side-mounted locking plate secures the stage in place to avoid unintended displacement (secured with a 1.6 mm hex key).

The modular design facilitates the assembly of 2-axis and 3-axis configurations. For an XY configuration, two stages can be directly connected orthogonally. For Z-axis motion, an APT-90 right-angle adapter is required for vertical mounting of the stage.

The top surface of the stage is equipped with an array of 13 M6 threaded holes, expanding mounting options for motion components. The base features 4×Ø7.5 mm countersunk holes, allowing the stage to be fixed to optical platforms or panels.
