X26 four sided optical rails are an excellent choice for construction of precision optical systems such as spatial filters, interferometers, collimators, and microscopes.
- Mount carriers to any of the four 26 mm symmetrical sides
- 40 mm common optical axis height above rail
- Stainless Steel construction for rigidity and stability
- Build compact optical systems with ease
- Wide variety of compatible carriers and mounts
- Carriers can be used as mounting feet on bottom of rail See All Features

Features
Dovetail Mounting on All Four Sides
Standardized Optical Axis Height for Compatible Mounts
Multiple optical mount options are designed to work well with X26 optical rails by providing a common optical axis height. Compatible optical mounts include SL Series 1.0 in. Gimbal Optical Mounts, SB18YZ Series Lens Positioners, X26 Series Optic and Lens Barrel Mounts They all provided a common optical axis height of 40 mm above the rail surface. The allows for easy optical system construction.
Build Compact, Pre-Aligned Optical Systems
Wide Variety of Rail Carriers
We offer X26 optical rail carriers with either M6 or 1/4-20 mounting threads for mounting metric and imperial components. Rail carriers are offered with multiple width options to easily accommodate most items you would like to mount to an X26 optical rail.
