Applications
Dovetail linear stages like the Newport TSX-1D are standard positioning components in optical laboratory setups, used to translate optical elements, detectors, fiber holders, or small loads with smooth and repeatable motion. The TSX series from Newport is designed for use on optical breadboards and rail systems, commonly found in photonics research, laser alignment, spectroscopy, imaging, and general optics lab environments. The dovetail design provides a compact and rigid platform well suited for applications requiring modest travel with stable, low-profile positioning. These stages are also used in semiconductor inspection setups, metrology, and any bench-level experiment requiring precise one-dimensional linear adjustment.
This Newport TSX-1D Dovetail Linear Stage is in new condition. It shows no signs of use or wear and appears unused. The black anodized aluminum body, mounting surfaces, adjustment knobs, and dovetail mechanism all look clean and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
