    Use these slides in a variety of manual-positioning applications for laboratory and production equipment as well as for positioning parts for drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring. Their Rulon plain bearings allow smooth movement in dirty environments.
    Note: Capacities listed are for horizontal mounting. When mounted vertically, the load capacity is cut in half.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance the carriage moves with one revolution of the handle.

    High-Load Positioning Slides

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Positioning Slides. High-Load Positioning Slides.
    Made with Frelon bearings, these slides have over four times the load capacity of standard positioning slides. They have a precision lead screw for use in a variety of manual-positioning applications for laboratory and production equipment as well as for positioning parts for drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring.
    Note: Capacities listed are for horizontal mounting only.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance the carriage moves with one revolution of the handle.
    Mounting Plates—Two-axis mounting plates (sold separately) let you mount two slides together for motion along two axes.
