Z Slides
Precise UHV specimen translator having Z motion.
Manufacturer
Prevac
Prevac are a world leader in the design and production of analytical and deposit scientific and research equipment. Their systems operate in a high and ultra high vacuum environment. They design and construct UHV and HV systems fully adapted to the individual requirements of research projects and industrial applications.

Description
The travelling flange can be chosen depending on the type of accessories. The translator is suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting. The Z slides are mostly used together with XY stages. After combining the Z slide with an XY stage we get the XYZ stage with three degrees of freedom. The Z slide can also be fitted with a stepper motor as required.
The Z slides have been designed for ease and convenience of use. These translators provide greater linear travel than is available from the linear shifts.
