Slide Tolerances Slide Tracking Accuracy

• Flatness of base bottom - 0.001" per 12".• Flatness of saddle top - 0.001" per 12". • Parallelism of saddle top to base bottom - 0.001" per 12". • Parallelism of reference edge (on side base) to dovetail way - 0.001"per 12".• Slide overall height tolerance - nominal to +/- 0.010". • Perpendicularity of base ends to base bottom and base reference edge - 0.001".• Perpendicularity of saddle ends to saddle top and saddle reference edge - 0.003".• Squareness in each plane of compound slide - 0.001" per 12" cumulative from axis to axis. All Master Dovetail Slides have a guaranteedstraightness of travel (side to side and up and down) not to exceed 0.0005" per 12", with an accu- mulation not to exceed 0.00025" for each additional 12" of travel.

Slide Mounting Attitude

Master Dovetail Slides can be mounted atany attitude, with the most common illustrated at right. The mounting attitude affects power requirements as well as lubrication grooves and porting. Specify slide mounting attitude on
