Features

Extra Clean, Passivated Pedestals

Stainless steel is already known as being corrosion-resistant, however the passivation process further strengthens its natural coating by improving the exterior surface of the overall part. The passivation process also removes unwanted debris and oils from the surface resulting in a post that is extra clean.

Cross-Drilled Hole for Easy Tightening and Loosening

These pedestals feature a 0.234 in. (5.9 mm) diameter cross-drilled hole. By inserting a 3/16 in. (5 mm) hex wrench (or similar tool) into this hole, it can be used to easily attach or detach an extension post or optical mount on its top.

Multiple Fixed Pedestal Heights

These pedestals are available with lengths of 0.5 in. (12.7 mm), 0.75 in. (19.1 mm), 0.88 in. (22.4 mm), 1.0 in. (25.4 mm), 2.0 in. (50.8 mm), 3.0 in. (76.2 mm), 4.0 in. (101.6 mm), and 6.0 in. (152.4 mm) and have cross-drilled holes large enough to use 3/16 in. (5 mm) hex wrenches aid in tightening and loosening posts.

High Stability for Mounting Optical Components

These 1 in. (25.4 mm) diameter stainless-steel optical posts are made from precision ground stainless steel to maintain long-term optical system alignment and come in a variety of heights. Using any of the available pedestal base clamping forks, these stackable pedestals can be clamped anywhere on a table or breadboard. Pedestal bases are machined directly into the posts. Cross-drilled holes large enough to use 3/16 in. (5 mm) hex wrenches aid in tightening and loosening posts. Both ends of each of these posts have a centered 8-32 (M4) threaded hole for mounting components and accessories, as well as attaching posts together.
