These anodized aluminum clamps with a 3 x 3 in. (76.2 x 76. mm) surface are a versatile foundation for mounting and positioning a variety of components including translation and rotation stages, platforms, post holders, angle brackets and mirror mounts. Model 340-RC can be manually positioned to any height or rotation angle on a rod, while Model 370-RC features a rack-and-pinion positioning system for more precise vertical adjustment. A quick disconnect mechanism allows components to be detached and re-attached very quickly and easily.
Rod clamps are a versatile foundation for mounting and positioning a variety of Newport components including translation and rotation stages, platforms, post holders, angle brackets and mirror mounts. Clamps are made of anodized aluminum with a mounting surface measuring 3.0 in. (76.2 mm) on each edge. They feature an array of clearance and 1/4-20 (or M6) tapped holes which, along with a range of possible orientations.
The 340-RC Rod Clamps can be manually positioned to any height or rotation angle around the rod axis using a novel peg mechanism and controlled by a knurled knob. The peg mechanism also allows components to be detached, and re-attached, quickly and easily. This clamp is compatible with Models (M-) 40 , (M-) 41 , 42 and 45 rods.
The 370-RC Rod Clamps feature a rack-and-pinion positioning system for more precise vertical adjustment with independent clamping. The rotation of the clamp is limited to ±0.5° rotation about the rod axis, allowing smooth vertical (height) adjustments controlled by the hand turned, knurled knob. This clamp is compatible with Models (M-) 70 , (M-) 71 , 72 and 75 rods.
The Model 30 Rotary Adaptor is available separately to provide 360° control of the mounting surface orientation, if desired.
The RC Series Rod Clamps are compatible with fixed VB Series V-Block Cylindrical Device Mounts or adjustable ULM Series Cylindrical Laser Mounts for holding cylindrical devices such as HeNe Laser or Laser Beam Expander.
All the rod clamps incorporate a quick-disconnect peg mechanism allowing components to be attached in a variety of orientations. The peg mechanism also allows components to be detached and re-attached quickly and easily.
