Mirror Mount, 0.5 in., Keying Pin Holes, 3 Hex Actuators

The M05-X Mirror Mount is designed for both research and OEM applications that require a compact, robust, kinematic mount at an economical price. The M05-X features a symmetrical, front-load mounting option, three precision 100-TPI adjustment screws, and an extra thick frame for additional stability. For OEM applications, the M05 has alignment pin holes for keying the mount’s location/orientation as well as adhesive wells for permanently bonding the mirror into the mount. M05 series mounts are all made of black-coated aluminum and available in a 2-axis version and with rear optic loading.

Affordable Mounts for Every Application

M Series mounts are the industry's lowest cost mount. They hold the most frequently used optic sizes and are available in a host of configurations including Full Aperture, Hex-Driven, Clear Edge, CenterPoint™, Side-Clamp, Platform, and V-Groove versions.

Adhesive Bonding

Our extensive laboratory testing has shown that epoxying the optic in place provides optimal performance and stability for industrial application. All M05 mirror mounts are designed with epoxy wells in the aperture to facilitate permanently bonding the mirror to the mount.

Alignment Pin Holes

These M05 mounts feature alignment pin holes (shown in red) on the bottom (base) of the mount to enable keying of the position and orientation by means of dowel pins when directly mounting. (Note: Dowel pins not included with mount.) This is especially helpful in OEM applications.

Superior Adjustability

All M-series mirror mounts have an angular range of ±4° with the equipped 100-TPI adjustment screws that provide a 25% improvement in adjustment sensitivity over competing mounts having 80-TPI adjusters. Better adjustability means faster, easier alignment.
