Mirror Mount, Industrial, Vertical Drive, 1 in., 2 Locking Allen-Keys, 8-32
The HVM-1i Industrial Vertical Drive Kinematic Optical Mount is unlike any optical mount in its class. It's very stable and yet easy to adjust without burning your fingers. The HVM’s unique ball-and-wedge drive mechanism enhances the overall performance of the 1 inch (25.4mm) diameter optical mount by reducing stiction and backlash to negligible levels while maintaining a compact and robust package.
This unique drive mechanism also allows substantial angular tilt without adjustment screws protruding from the back of the mount, where fingers can block the beam. At a scant 0.75 inch thickness the HVM can be placed in optical systems requiring minimum footprint. Newport’s in-line spring mechanism provides targeted tension at appropriate points to ensure the HVM is stable both short-term and long-term.
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
Left: Lever lock. Right: Flexure lock built into the mount body.
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.
