The HVM-2u is a vertical drive optic mount made to mount 2-in. optics for use in industrial applications. The HVM’s unique ball-and-wedge drive mechanism enhances the overall performance by reducing stiction and backlash to negligible levels while maintaining a compact and robust package. It features a front-loading design to ensure easy installation of the mirror and has other standard features like a 1.5-in. optical axis height, 80-TPI hex key locking actuators, and an exceptionally thin 21-mm profile. The HVM-2u is designed with universal mounting options including a center clearance hole for #8 or M4 screws, two #8 threaded mounting holes and two M4 threaded mounting holes.
