How do I mount a ball bearing linear translation stage to a breadboard table?

The base of each ball bearing stage has 2 counterbored holes that accept socket head cap screws (SHCS). To gain access to the holes, move the mounting stage back and forth. It will help to use the side locking screw to hold the spring in place. The size of the screws depends on the stage; either #4, #6, or ¼. However, the length of the screws depends on the thickness of the adapter plate or the breadboard table (if connecting directly). We currently carry a line of breadboard adapter plates for such requirements with the S.H.C.S. included.
