Newport MKS Precision Optical Rail, 36.48 in. Length, 3.93 in. Width, 36 in. Scale PRL-36

The PRL-36 Precision Dovetail Rail is an easy to use 36 inch rail compatible with PRC Series Carriers. The rail/carrier system is designed to provide maximum versatility in minimum table space. The PRL-36 is compatible with English or metric table hole patterns. It is made from precision-machined anodized aluminum for excellent linearity and smooth carrier translation.The compatible PRC Series carriers are also easy to use and may be removed or installed at any point on the PRL-36 rail. The aluminum carriers ride on extra-hard polymer pads, selected for low friction, resistance to cold flow, and long life. The overall nominal height of a carrier mounted on to a rail is 1.256 in. (31.9 mm). Convenient thumb-adjust lock knobs securely clamp the carriers in place anywhere on the rail. Precision Dovetail Design for Sturdy Hold and Excellent Linearity The PRL Series Precision Dovetail Optical Rail system maintains a low profile with its 3.93 in. (99.8 mm) wide base to provide a sturdy hold of carriers with a combined height of 1.26 in. (31.9 mm). The precision-machined, anodized aluminum dovetail construction provides smooth and easy-to-use carrier translation with a straightness of 0.001 in over 8 in. (25 µm over 25 cm). Three Optical Rail Carriers Available The optical rail carriers are also easy to use and may be removed or installed at any point on the rail. The aluminum carriers ride on extra-hard polymer pads, selected for low friction, resistance to cold flow, and long life. The overall nominal height of a carrier mounted on to an optical rail is 1.256 in. (31.9 mm). Convenient thumb-adjust lock knobs securely clamp the carriers in place anywhere on the rail. Engraved Linear Scales A metric and imperial linear scale is engraved in the side of the precision-machined anodized aluminum optical rail for ease of optical system set-up.
