High-Precision Kinematic Design

This mirror mount utilizes fine-threaded adjustment screws, enabling precise control over pitch and yaw axes for optical components. The kinematic design facilitates accurate, repeatable alignment, essential in demanding research and industrial applications.

Robust Construction and Versatility

Made from black anodized aluminum, the mount combines strength with low reflectivity. Multiple mounting holes and a base plate interface make integration with various optical tables and setups straightforward, supporting mirrors up to 2 inches in diameter.

Reliable Performance Across Conditions

Operating reliably between -20C and +70C, this mirror mount includes a locking mechanism on each adjustment knob, retaining alignment even under varying environmental conditions. Its stability and fine control help minimize downtime and recalibration needs.

FAQs of Kinematic Mirror Mount:

Q: How do I install the kinematic mirror mount onto an optical table?

A: The mirror mount features a base plate with multiple counterbored or tapped holes, allowing you to attach it to standard optical tables using bolts. Simply align the mount with your tables hole pattern, secure it with compatible hardware, and ensure it is stable before mounting your mirror.

Q: What is the process for adjusting the mirrors angle with this mount?

A: To adjust the angle, use the knurled hex adjustment knobs to manipulate the pitch and yaw axes. The precision fine-thread screws provide micron-level control, and once the desired position is achieved, the built-in locking mechanism secures the alignment.

Q: When should I use this type of kinematic mirror mount?

A: This mount is ideal whenever precise angular adjustment of mirrors is required, such as in laser alignment, optical experiments, or R&D projects. It is particularly useful for applications demanding high stability and reproducibility of alignment.

Q: Where can this mirror mount be used?

A: The mount is suitable for use in research laboratories, optical setups, R&D facilities, and anywhere fine adjustment and alignment of optical mirrors are necessary. Its flexible mounting options make it compatible with most standard optical benches and breadboards.

Q: What are the benefits of using a kinematic mirror mount with locking mechanisms?

A: The integrated locking mechanism ensures that the alignment remains stable after adjustments. This reduces the chances of misalignment due to vibrations or accidental contact, improving repeatability and reliability in sensitive experiments.

Q: How does the surface finish contribute to performance?

A: The black anodized surface provides low reflectivity, which minimizes stray light and unwanted reflections in optical setups. Additionally, the anodization increases durability, protecting the mount from wear and corrosion.

Q: Is this mirror mount compatible with different mirror sizes and thicknesses?

A: Yes. The mount accommodates mirrors up to 50.8 mm (2 inches) in diameter and up to 10 mm in thickness, making it versatile for a range of optical components. Adjustments can be made for different diameters as needed for your application.
