Are you looking for a linear stage? Newport makes lots of stuff, all sorts of random pieces of metal and lenses and various types of linear and rotary stages. It's a real expense once you discover it all :)

If it is a linear stage you are looking for, also have a look at the StackShot as well as focusing rails like the BHMJ focusing block or variously branded (eg, Minolta, Pentax) macro focusing rails. I can't say what would work best for you, but consider all of the options.

If you provide more details on what you want to do with the equipment, I'm sure you'll get some more specific recommendations.
