Left-Right Screw Motion UniSlides

These slides are very useful for applications where two objects must share a common axis of movement. Typical uses for Left-Right UniSlides include centering or mating operations in manufacturing, testing and research environments. See also, two independently driven sliders below.

These unique UniSlides incorporate two sliders driven by a single right and left-hand threaded standard accuracy lead screw. When the crank is turned, the sliders simultaneously move toward or away from each other. A number of travel distances are available for each size (Series); see chart at right. Input your specifications. Not what you had in mind? Look to far left nav. bar for more ideas, or call 800 642-6446 to discuss your positioning equipment needs.

measured travel


<Example 5A: Series A40 UniSlide. Type:
Graduated Knob with Dual Screws
for independent adjustment.
Resolution is 0.01 mm

 

<Example 5B:This model has three lockable carriages on a common axis, the Rapid Advance feature, and uses scale and vernier to measure position (0.05 mm)

 

 

 

 

 

 

<When using a scale and vernier on this left-right unit, a dummy plate is added to the second slider to maintain equal height for both sliders.


Example 6:
Two views of a
Manual BiSlide with independent
lead screws, extra slider to
support payload, and
mechanical DRO counter.
Example 7: Two independently controlled sliders with knobs on the same end. The
A60 Series has sufficient width to have two lead screws operated from the same
end of the base.

parallel stages

Example 8: Two independently controlled sliders with knobs on the same end. Similar to example 7 but using two A25 stages.
