Manual Linear Dovetail Stage: The MC - Series

The MC Series offers manual linear dovetail stages for precise positioning across a wide range of applications. All models share the same robust guiding principle, while differing in travel range, size and functional role – from compact positioning stages to modular system axes.

MC-A, MC-E

Travel up to ± 9 mm
Optics · Sensors · Alignment
These stages are designed for precise positioning and fine adjustment over short travel ranges. They are ideal for optical alignment, sensor positioning and laboratory setups where compact design, high repeatability and controlled movement are essential. The compact drive design enables sensitive, accurate positioning even in confined spaces.

MC-B, MC-D, MCS

Travel up to ± 60 mm
Laboratory · Test setups · General positioning
These stages offer a balanced combination of travel range, precision and load capacity. They are well suited for general positioning tasks in laboratory, development and test environments where flexibility and repeatable positioning are required. These stages provide smooth manual adjustment across a wider travel range while maintaining high positioning accuracy.

MC-C

Travel up to ± 115 mm
Scanning · Long stroke positioning
These stages are designed for applications requiring extended travel distances and flexible positioning. They are ideal for scanning, adjustment over larger distances and multi-position setups. The rack-and-pinion drive ensures smooth motion across long strokes while maintaining stable guidance and reliable positioning.
