1 tonne & 2.5 tonne load capacities available.
Ultra-stiff Jacks.
Mounting interface can be a cone, vee or flat using a spherical bearing.
Vertical translation range to 150mm available.

High accuracy (±1µm) limit switches can be used as hard limits and/or home switch on each motion.
Optical linear encoder to ±0.1µm precision.
Optional horizontal translation stages.

IDT’s unique guided jacks, which can be used for a number of applications, have a compact design and a very high mechanical stiffness. Customisation is possible to suit specific requirements. The single jack’s motion is highly repeatable. IDT jacks have been used on experimental tables, detector mounts, large mirror system supports and monochromator supports.
