Mirror Mount, PERFORMA-i, 0.5 in., 100 TPI, 2 Locking Allen-Keys

The P50-Ai21 PERFORMA™-i Optical Mounts has been optimized for industrial OEM applications requiring precise angular adjustment, high stability, and set, lock, and forget capability. This kinematic optic mount uses a set screw to secure 0.5-in. optics that are loaded from the rear. Two tamper-resistant hex head precision 100 TPI integral adjustment screws provide high-resolution ±4° angular motion. Extra-stiff springs enhance long-term stability and provide greater protection against vibrations. Our patented thread pitch lock securely locks the adjustment screw with just a simple counter-clockwise turn, without influencing the position of the front plate of the mount. The mount also features a center #8 (M4) clearance hole for mounting and dowel pins holes for drop-in alignment.

Performa-i Industrial Mount Features

• A slim profile, less than an inch thick, to save space
• Newport's patented thread lock for better long-term stability
• Type-III, hard anodized surfaces for wear resistance of the ball-tipped adjusters

Locking Allen-Key Adjusters

Performa-i Series industrial mounts feature Allen-key adjustments to save space and prevent unintended adjustment. A flexure lock is built into the mount body and exerts 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.

Stability Ensured by Kinematic Design

The design of the these mounts follows kinematic principles to ensure the highest stability and precision.  Each degree of freedom is constrained just once using the Cone, V, and Flat configuration.
