HVM-05r Mirror Mount

The HVM-05r Vertical-Drive Industrial Mirror Mount is unlike any optical mount in its class. Its body is made entirely from stainless steel, allowing it to be exceptionally stable and compact. It is only 0.31 in. (8 mm) thick. HVM-05r is designed to hold 0.5 in. optics and is loaded from the rear. It is adjusted with two top-accessible 80-TPI screws having 1/16-in (1.5 mm) hex keys. Each adjuster is labeled with the axis it moves; either P for pitch (elevation) or Y for yaw (azimuth). Designed for OEM applications, the HVM-05r can be mounted with any or all of three clearance holes located in the rear of the mount and has an additional 1/16-in. alignment pin hole on the base for keying the mounting position.

Rear-Loading Keeps Optic Surface in Consistent Location

Left: Front-Load; Right: Rear-Load

Both the HVM-05r, HVM-S1r rear load mounts and HVM-1t, HVM-S1t, HVM-2t threaded aperture mounts feature rear-loading design to ensure that the front surface of the optic would be in the same mounting location regardless of its thickness. In contrast, a front-loading mount would locate a thin optic recessed within the mount thereby limiting its reflective clear aperture.

Keep Your Hands Out of Harms Way

Top adjust mounts have their adjustment screws located above where the optic is held so that your hands never have to cross into the beam path area.

Compact Geometry

Top adjust mirror mounts feature a slimmer profile and smaller footprint than traditional mounts. As such, they can often fit more easily into tight or restricted spaces when traditional mounts may not. Top adjust mirror mounts are ideal for use in laser cavities, OEM, and industrial applications due to their exceptionally slim profile and accessible actuators.

Locking Allen-Key Adjusters

All of Newport's industrial top adjust mounts have locking Allen-Key adjustments to save space and prevent unintended adjustment. Among them, all aluminum mounts have a flexure lock built into the mount body, and stainless steel mounts feature a lever lock. Both types of locks exert a tangential force on the screw to prevent rotation. Adjustment and locking actions are accomplished using a single tool from the same side of the mount.

Alignment Pin Holes

These mounts feature alignment pin holes (illustrated in red) on the bottom (base) of the mount to enable keying of the position and orientation by means of dowel pins for repeatable system integration and to prevent clocking effects. (Note: Dowel pins not included with mount.) This is especially helpful in OEM applications.
