Horizontal Surface EXC Steel Z Stages

Horizontal (Flat) surface Z axis steel translation stages have an in-line micrometer which utilizes an internal pivot mechanism to enable vertical translation. These stages feature Opto Sigma's EXC™ precision bearing ways. These bearing ways are not separate parts, as with competing stages, but processed directly into the body and base of the stage resulting in the highest stiffness, straightness and smoothness of any stage on the market. They remain unmatched in overall performance to this day. All TSD stages are made entirely from hardened tool steel and are plated with an RoHS-Compliant black chrome.
