The HVM-20Mt is an Industrial Vertical Drive Kinematic Optical Mount specifically made for 20 mm optics. It has a compact, stable design for easy top adjustment away from the beam path. This mount utilizes a threaded bore to secure optics using a retaining ring. The mount has standard features such as a 20 mm optical axis height, 100 TPI locking actuators, and can fit up to 3mm thick optics. The HVM-20t is designed with several mounting options including #8 (M4) clearance holes for simple mounting via cap screws.
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.
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.
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.
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.
