Applications
Schneeberger is a Swiss precision manufacturer well known for high-accuracy linear guidance and measuring systems. Their compact recirculating-ball slides like this one are used in precision positioning applications in optical, semiconductor, metrology, and general laboratory instrumentation. The tapped-hole top platform allows direct attachment of optical components, sensors, fixtures, or tooling, making them a common building block in custom positioning stages and machine sub-assemblies. The recirculating ball design provides smooth, low-friction motion with good repeatability, suitable for manual positioning or integration with a fine-thread leadscrew or micrometer drive. This type of slide is still in active use in lab automation, inspection equipment, and precision machine building, and is sought after in the surplus market for custom stage construction and instrument repair.
This Schneeberger miniature recirculating-ball linear positioning slide has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The top platform and base show typical shop wear — light surface grime, minor scuffing, and some discoloration on the steel surfaces consistent with age and prior use. The two recirculating ball carriage blocks are present and intact. The lubrication port on the side is clean and unobstructed. No cracks, broken threads, or structural damage are visible. It has not been powered up or bench-tested at our facility, but appears to have come from a working industrial or lab environment. Please review our photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
