The NSR1 is an economical and versatile rotary positioner for use as a filter wheel, a neutral density rotator, polarized optic rotator, flipper mount or basic rotation platform. It features a 1” threaded aperture, retaining ring and internal reference surface for 25.4 mm optics, a 1-degree step resolution, and up to 120 °/s speed. The NSR1 serves as a base unit, and can be used as a rotator for 25.4 mm optics.
Accessories are also available, including a filter wheel (NSFW-1) for up to 8 - 25.4 mm optics, a 127 mm diameter variable ND filter adapter (NSND), a tooling plate (NSTP-1) featuring an array of tapped holes, and a unique set of adapters to transform the rotator into a motorized flipper mount (NSFM-1). Combined with the NSC200 controller, the NSR1 takes the place of up to 5 separate devices at one fifth of the price.
NSFM-1flip mount attachment includes adapter plate, magnetic hard stops, U50-P1 mount and UPA1 1" optic holder
