Opto-Mechanics
A NEW BENCHMARK FOR STABILITY AND PRECISION
Fine Adjustment opto-mechanics and mirror mounts are manufactured to exceptionally fine tolerances. Each 170TPI adjuster is fitted with a patented and unique long-life lubricating system and a split head with an additional hexagon socket.
This Helix 2 lubricant system guarantees that the opto-mechanics thread is evenly supplied with lubricant at every turn of the adjuster. Therefore wear over time is eliminated and mirror mount components consistently maintain a very smooth movement and perform to design specification throughout their life.
Fine Adjustment Optomechanics are constructed from specially treated materials in order to prevent movements due to mechanical stress and changing temperatures.
There is a choice of thicknesses of the optomechanics front and back plates offering value for money and ultimate stability. Together with either 2 or 4 powerful springs, these mirror mounts deliver exceptional performance and long-term stability.

Fine Thread Adjusters
The fine thread adjusters have a thread pitch of 0.15 mm, corresponding to an international standard of 170 TPI compared to 80TPI or at best 100 TPI from other manufacturers.

Earth Standard Series
|
|
|
The Earth series of mirror mounts is our most popular series of opto-mechanics, intended primarily for 1" optics. As with all our mirror mount series there is the option of using the adjuster head or an allen key for fine adjustments of the mirror mount.
|
Earth High Stability
|
|
|
The Earth High Stability series incorporates thick M8 stainless steel adjusters as well as thicker front and back plates and 4 powerful springs to improve long term stability and provide lower sensitivity to acoustic and thermal deflection. Ideal when precision and stability is a must.
|
Earth Top Adjustable
|
|
|
The Earth Top Adjustable series is ideal for mounting 1" optics into tight spaces on the optical table. The left or right handing adjustment from the top enables easy hysteresis free adjustment safely out of the beam path.
|
Venus Standard Series
|
|
|
The Venus series is a compact version of our Earth series, ideal for ½" optics and crowded optical tables, while still providing the highest levels of performance.
|
Venus Top Adjustable
|
|
|
This compact series is ideal for fitting into small spaces on optical boards and with level height adjusters they are easy to fit. In addition hysteresis has been eliminated so this series is ideal for very demanding applications.
|
Saturn Series
|
|
|
The Saturn series is a wide foot base model designed primarily for 1" optics, providing lower sensitivity to acoustic and thermal noise. This ultra stable left or right handed base makes this series ideal for mounting 1" optics in the most demanding optical systems.
|
Jupiter Series
|
|
|
The Jupiter series is a compact wide foot base model perfect for ½" optics. The large base lowers sensitivity to acoustic and thermal deflection while the compact size makes these ideal for crowded optical systems.
