Description
Zolix Instruments presents DSM series dovetail linear stages.
Our DSM series dovetail bearings linear stages are made of aluminum alloy with travel range from 13 mm to 100 mm, depending on the model. The base width is the same as the stage top width, that is more compact than other dovetail stages on the market.
These translation stages win by their simplicity, ease of use, insensitivity to contamination, and low cost. Although dovetails are the most suitable stages for high-precision motion control applications, they are nevertheless useful in many applications, such as optical alignment, target positioning in a wide range of engineering applications, spectroscopy, imaging and microscopy, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dovetail linear stage?
A dovetail linear stage, or a dovetail, is the simplest of all linear stages and is mainly used for manual positioning. Dovetails consist of two surfaces moving against each other. There are pros and cons about using dovetails. These stages provide a long travel, relatively high stiffness and load capacity. Additionally, they are more resistant to shock than most other bearings and are insensitive to contamination. On the other hand, they have relatively high stiction, and the friction varies with translation speed. This makes precise control difficult and limits sensitivity thus limiting the potential use cases.
Are there multiple types of dovetail linear stages?
As with all other linear stages, dovetails come in different geometries and architectures. The most commonly used types are the industrial dovetail linear stages and the fast-drive stages. In some applications, you may find peg-joining dovetails or (ultra) compact stages.
How should I decide what type of linear stage to use?
When choosing a linear stage, consider the following key specifications before making your decision: resolution, repositioning accuracy, backlash, speed, stiffness, load capacity, and cost.
What are the travel range options for the DSM series dovetail linear stages?
The travel range options for the DSM series dovetail linear stages range from 13 mm to 100 mm, depending on the model.
What are the table size options available for the dovetail linear stages?
The dovetail linear stages offer various table size options including 40x40, 60x60, and 65x65.
What is the horizontal load capacity of the dovetail linear stages?
The horizontal load capacity of the dovetail linear stages ranges from 5 kg to 10 kg, depending on the model.
