MINISLIDE MSQ: Engineered for Precision and Reliability

As product requirements evolve, finding the right replacement for legacy components is critical. SCHNEEBERGER’s MINISLIDE MSQ micro frictionless tables are available and engineered for high speeds, high process reliability, and compact performance, ideal for today’s most demanding motion applications.

Visit SCHNEEBERGER North America at Automate 2025 Booth #1807 from May 12–15 to experience the MSQ live and meet our engineering experts in person.

Precision Where It Matters Most

Engineered for compact spaces and built to deliver maximum accuracy and process stability, the MSQ series is the perfect fit for industries where performance cannot be compromised.

Enhance Your Application with MSQ

With MSQ, we offer more than just a replacement, we deliver enhancements that weren’t available with legacy components:

  • Standard cage control system for increased reliability and higher accelerations/speeds
  • Integrated measuring system (scale) for more accurate axis measurements and reduced assembly effort
  • Options for custom lubrication, special push forces, height adjustments, extended cages, and custom attachment holes
