Cost-Effective Long-Travel Manual Stage (JD1-43S Dovetail Guide Model)

Balancing generous adjustment capability with budget-friendly practicality, the JD1-43S manual positioning stage utilizes a precision-machined dovetail guideway paired with a fine-pitch screw drive mechanism, built on a standard 40×40 mm mounting footprint. Weighing in at a mere 0.18 kg, this ultra-lightweight aluminum assembly delivers extended travel performance ideal for setups where bench space is tight but flexible positioning range remains a priority. Offering ±10 mm of linear adjustment travel — a full 50% more range than most comparable 40 mm form-factor stages — it works reliably in both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations, and can be conveniently combined to build space-saving XYZ multi-axis positioning stacks with ample overall adjustment room.

Equipped with a clear 0.1 mm vernier scale for direct, intuitive position readout, the stage achieves 40 μm table parallelism and holds 30 μm driving parallelism tolerance across its full 20 mm total stroke, delivering consistent, repeatable positioning for everyday alignment tasks. It is widely adopted in educational laboratory training, general fixture adjustment, production line component alignment, basic optical setups and light assembly workstations. Its small footprint combined with long travel makes it an especially strong fit for teaching demonstration rigs, adjustable production jigs, entry-level research prototypes and modular equipment builds where users need reliable positioning flexibility without allocating excessive budget or space to high-precision motion components.

This model stands out as an exceptional value option for teams prioritizing travel range and load capacity without unnecessary cost overhead. The durable black anodized aluminum finish resists daily wear and minimizes stray light reflection, while its 2.5 kgf load rating easily supports standard optical mounts, small sensor assemblies, custom workholding fixtures and educational experiment payloads. For equipment integrators, teaching labs, and engineering teams looking for a robust, low-maintenance manual positioning solution that delivers maximum adjustment range in the smallest possible package, the JD1-43S provides a dependable, cost-effective choice built for frequent daily use.

As a Sino-Korean joint venture manufacturer headquartered in Dongguan, Guangdong — located in the heart of one of Asia's most mature precision manufacturing clusters — we draw on an extensive local supply chain network, decades of refined aluminum machining experience, and rigorous multi-stage quality control processes. Every JD1-43S unit completes full-stroke calibration and geometric accuracy inspection before leaving the factory, guaranteeing consistent performance out of the box. With large-scale production capacity and flexible technical support for custom modification requests, we welcome both new and returning customers to visit our production facility and explore long-term partnership opportunities.
