Core Kinematic Mirror Mounts
Designed for long-term optical alignment stability. Our core mirror mounts feature robust spring-loaded tensioning and dual-locking thread pairs.
SUS Series (Ultra-Stability Stainless Steel)
The SUS Series is the ultimate mirror mount solution for high-stability applications. Machined from solid SUS304 stainless steel, it reduces the thermal expansion coefficient and internal stress, effectively preserving alignment over time. Integrates piezo screws for nanoscale automated tuning.
| Model | Optic Diameter | Optic Thickness | Adjustment Range | Resolution (per Rev) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SUS12.7 | Ø12.5 / Ø12.7 mm | 3 to 5 mm | ±3° | ≈0.57° |
| SUS25.4 | Ø25 / Ø25.4 mm | 3 to 6 mm | ±3° | ≈0.33° |
| SUS50.8 | Ø50 / Ø50.8 mm | 4 to 8 mm | ±3° | ≈0.21° |
Adjustment Degrees of Freedom (Axes Guide)
The coordinate system diagram illustrates the fine kinematic adjustment capability of the SUS mirror mount series:
- Position 1 & 2 (Piezo Actuators): Support automated, sub-micro-radian alignment tuning along the θy and θx tilt axes.
- Position 3 (Manual Adjuster): High-stability manual coarse adjustment for static locking before activation.
- Orthogonal Controls: Complete alignment optimization across X, Y, and Z planes.
AUS Series (High Sensitivity Aluminum)
AUS Series mounts are designed as highly sensitive, general-purpose kinematic mounts. They employ a superior line-line-line contact structure to replace the traditional point-line-surface mechanism, providing higher adjustment accuracy and reducing mechanical stress. Equipped with 0.2mm super-fine thread pairs.
- Elastic Ring: Prevents optical deformation caused by setscrew locking.
- Dual Locking: Rear-lock collar on thread pairs + front/rear plate locking screws.
- Tuning: Adjustable via thumb wheels or hexagon spanners.
NMHS Series (Lightweight Aluminum Mounts)
Designed for practical, everyday laboratory setups. The NMHS Series features a slimmed-down, lightweight aluminum body without sacrificing mechanical rigidity. Covers a broad range of optics sizes from Ø12.7 mm up to Ø101.6 mm.
Broad Aperture Range
Supports standard optics: Ø12.7, Ø20, Ø25.4, Ø30, Ø38.1, Ø50.8, Ø76.2, and Ø101.6 mm.
Spring Tensioning
Four-pull spring design ensures uniform pull force distribution across the adjusters.
