Optional Finish

Standard UniSlide have a brushed aluminum finish; aluminum knobs have a clear anodized finish. 

Optionally, UniSlides may be
cosmetically black anodized, as shown here. To order black anodizing, add "-BK" to the end of the model number. 

In addition, black hard coat anodized dovetail ways (base) are offered. This increases the surface hardness to Rockwell C-65 providing corrosion resistance similar to stainless steel


UniSlides are also available with electroless nickel plating, as shown on the right. This yields a slick, smooth, hard surface. Commonly employed in vacuum, food or pharmaceutical applications. More

Using the B base offers two advantages:

- Increased base stiffness which in particularly useful to prevent deflection of unsupported bases.
- Provides clearance for the knob if it extends below the regular "A" model base.  More

Right Angle Gear Drive
Makes the control knob perpendicular to the lead screw axis. Can be up, down, left or right of the shaft.
