    Choose TUSK positioning slides for precise, low friction, fingertip control or point-to-point gaging and positioning of loads. TUSK manufactures positioning slides by adding a micrometer drive mechanism to their popular ball and crossed roller slides. As a result, all positioning slides meet the same straight line accuracy and repeatability specifications as our ball and crossed roller slides. By stacking the slides, TUSK offers you ready to use assemblies for precise two and three axis positioning applications.

    To ensure repeatable adjustments and zero backlash, internally mounted springs preload the moving portion of the positioning slide against the micrometer drive. Our broad line of positioning slides lets you choose the travel, load carrying capacity, and work surface needed to get your job done.
