Linear Slide Assembly Linear manual and motorized XSlides of varying length. The Velmex XSlide is a compact positioning stage highly suitable for either high performance incrementing or scanning of smaller loads. Their compact design makes 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. Nut Mesh...
