Mirror Mount, Suprema^®, 1.0 in, Three 254-TPI Actuators

The SU100-F3K Suprema^® Stainless Steel Kinematic 1 inch (25.4 mm) Optical Mount is fabricated from pressed and sintered powdered metal stainless steel. Through our patent pending process we create cost-effective pressed and sintered powdered stainless steel mounts with performance comparable to that of wrought stainless steel. Newport's Suprema design has been optimized utilizing our broad experience in opto-mechanics, vibration damping and isolation, optics, and material science. Through comprehensive design, finite element analysis, and rigorous testing, we have achieved performance previously attained only through high cost, custom stainless steel mounts. 1 inch (25.4 mm) diameter optics are front loaded and held securely in place against precision mounting pads using the setscrew, or be epoxied in place. Extensive laboratory testing has shown that epoxying the optic in place provides optimal performance and stability. Suprema mounts have superior adjustability and feel. Polished and lapped carbide pads enable smooth, repeatable motion. The three adjustment screws with knob have tip and tilt adjustability over a range of +/- 7 degrees. 254-TPI provides a 60% sensitivity advantage over the standard adjusters. Convenient 8-32 (M4) counterbored clearance holes provide quick, precise, secure and stable mounting. Suprema mounts are compatible with standard post and post holder systems for adjustable height and pedestal posts for a stable fixed height.
