UniSlide dovetail slides are manufactured from precision
extrusions of high grade aluminium alloy. Low friction polymer bearings
are fitted to the slider for long service life, free from significant
wear. Dovetail base surfaces are precision machined and lapped. UniSlide
can be customised and configured to precise requirements as each one is
made to order, often within one week.
With over 1 million supplied throughout the world,
UniSlide’s simple design, rugged, reliable operation has been
successfully proven in thousands of applications across science and
industry.
If you need precise, versatile movement in one, two or
three dimensions, you can do it more efficiently and less expensively
with UniSlide assemblies.

Standard Sizes
A1500 Series
The A1500 series is the smallest model in the standard
UniSlide range. The A1500 series is a small, low profile positioner for
light duty applications with light loads. Ideally the base requires
support along its full length (except for very light loads). Options
include longer sliders to increase stability for large or cantilevered
loads.
A2500 / A4000 / A6000 Series

The A2500, A4000 and A6000 series are a very popular
sizes and ideally suited to a wide variety of industrial, optical and
laboratory applications. Options include longer sliders to increase
stability for large or cantilevered loads.

download the latest
dovetail catalogue, which includes further specification for
each of these series. Alternatively, CAD drawings of these slides are
available to download in the downloads
section.

An optional hard anodised finish with PTFE impregnated base section are
available on request. For high vacuum and other sensitive
applications, plain hard anodising and polymer inserts are also
available.
