Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Slide components along a fixed axis and return them to a marked position.
Adjust element spacing in imaging and relay systems where the design fixes the separations.
Reconfigure a bench quickly while keeping every element on a common axis.
System integration
Use these checks to connect RAOB15-1 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Mounting Hole Distance To the Edge A(mm): 80 · Mounting Hole Center distance B(mm): 335. Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
Weight(Kg): 8.65. Use the stated geometry and mass to fix beam height, clearance and the load carried by whatever this part is bolted to. These are the numbers that decide whether adjacent components physically collide.
Model selection
Compare RAOB15-1 with the closest available models in the RAOB series Optical Rail family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.

Before you specify
Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.
Opto-mechanicsVibration, thermal drift and mechanical integration are one problem. Budget the motion at the sample, then specify the table, the isolation, the mounts and the beam height that budget asks for.
