Features
Compact, Sturdy Mounting of Components
Our 0.7 in. Optical Pedestals system offers a compact alternative to conventional-sized fixed pedestals, with a solid stainless-steel construction for sturdy mounting. The pedestal system is compatible with all Newport's mounts, including the New Focus Tiny™ Mounts. The four tallest pedestals available have an 8-32 (or M4) threaded hole in each end for mounting optics components or combining posts. Model 9942 (M-9942 for metric) has a 2-56 (M2) threaded hole in one end and an 8-32 (M4) threaded hole on the other to accommodate the Tiny Mount Series.
Pedestal Clamping for Versatility When Mounting to Optical Tables
The slotted design of the pedestal clamping forks provides the flexibility of positioning pedestals in arbitrary locations on optical tables despite mounting hole patterns. These stainless steel clamps are sold with (Models 9947 and 9947-M) and without (Model 9947-X) a captive 1/4-20 (M6) screw.
