Precision Lifts

Precision Lifts

Precision lifts give fine, controlled vertical motion for optical tooling set-ups, providing roughly a half inch of travel to fine-tune instrument height after coarse stand adjustment.


What we carry

580800 Precision Lift

  • Provides precise control of vertical motion throughout approximately ½” range.
  • Generally used for fine vertical positioning after the instrument height has been roughly established with a stand column.
  • Large diameter, fine-motion screw allows minute height adjustments of previously leveled instruments
  • 2.825 x 20 external thread.
  • Recessed dovetail socket allows mounting of slides or other configured products on top, with socket head set screws to hold them in place.

580801 Precision Lift & Adapter

  • This assembly consists of an 580800 precision lift, a 582352 adapter (dovetail bottom, 3½” x 8 thread top), and a 581584 precision lift adapter.
