Parker’s 4000 Series of precision linear manual slides provide controlled, precise point to-point positioning along a linear axis. Slides are comprised of two basic components: a precision linear ball slide which serves as a linear bearing and guide, and a drive mechanism which accurately moves and positions the slide top along the linear axis.
The 4000 Series ball bearing linear slides are the ideal mechanisms for providing precise, low friction, linear motion over longer travel distances. Two linear rows of bearings (one located on each side of the base), support the carriage and provide smooth, accurate, linear translation.
