By eliminating the need for a clamping fork, PX series pedestals and posts save 3X the space on an optical table allowing for dense optical systems and work perfectly with our double-density optical tables and breadboards.

• RS2000D double-density optical table
• SGD double-density honeycomb core breadboard
• SA2-D double-density aluminum breadboard

PX series can be selected by design, thread, and lengths. There are two designs: flanged pedestal and straight post. Use the straight post design to save the most space or to use with post holders. Use the flanged version for more versatility, since these can also be mounted with a standard fork if needed. They are made from stainless steel to provide the best stability and stiffness. 

Extension posts and spacers can be used to precisely tune the mounting height of optical posts, allowing optics to be mounted at non-standard heights. Post clamps provide the option of securing an optical mount at any position and any angle to a post. 45-degree mirror mount adapters allow a mirror mount to be post-pointed at a fixed 45° pitch angle, which is ideal for periscope applications. For versatile, high-stability mounting in multiple dimensions, our modular construction cubes are the best choice. And to facilitate flexible mounting and stacking of optical posts, 8-32 (M4) to ¼-20 (M6) thread adapters are available. 

Newport's newest and best performing mirror mounts are designed to mount on forkless PX posts and pedestals. The forkless design solves the space-constraint problems created by standard clamping forks. They are ideal for OEM use, as well as for use by researchers in the laboratory. Click the video link here to see how the industry's most cost-effective, compact, and stable industrial mirror mounts are enhanced by our forkless posts and pedestals.
