Description
Schneeberger NK 2-80 Linear Positioning Slide 1-13/16" Travel 3-1/8" x 1-9/16"
The Schneeberger NK 2-80 is a compact linear positioning slide from Schneeberger's NK series, a line of miniature recirculating ball linear guides designed for precision positioning applications. The NK series combines a hardened steel carriage riding on recirculating ball elements within a compact, bolt-down body — providing smooth, low-friction linear motion in a small footprint. This unit offers approximately 1-13/16" (about 46 mm) of travel.

Applications
Schneeberger NK series slides are used in precision linear positioning tasks across laboratory automation, optical instrument design, semiconductor handling, machine tool accessories, and scientific instrumentation. Their compact form factor makes them well suited for tight-clearance setups where a full-size linear stage would not fit — such as microscope stages, fiber-optic alignment fixtures, small CNC accessories, and custom positioning jigs. Schneeberger has been producing precision linear motion components since the mid-20th century, and the NK series recirculating ball design became a standard building block in European precision machine design from the 1970s onward. These slides continue to be used today wherever a compact, stiff, smooth linear guide is needed in a custom or retrofitted mechanism.
This Schneeberger NK 2-80 linear positioning slide has been pulled from a working environment and inspected. The slide operates and moves along its travel without binding. Photos show surface oxidation and light rust on the carriage top and base, consistent with age and storage — this is cosmetic and does not affect the slide's function. The rail guides and carriage face some typical wear marks. No actuator, motor, or additional hardware is included. Please review our full photo set and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
