Parker: Manual Driven, Ball Bearing Guided, Standard Linear Positioning Stages – 4000 Series

February 18, 2021

Parker’s 4000 Series of precision linear manual stages provide controlled, precise point-to-point positioning along a linear axis. Stages are comprised or 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 stages provide a 1.75 to 5 inch square mounting surface which is ground to a precision micro-flat surface.
