Gimbal Mirror Mount, ULTIMA^®, Center, 1.0 in. Diameter, No Actuators

The U100-G ULTIMA^® Gimbal Optical Mount has a radically simple way of tilting an optic without translating its surface. Conventional gimbal mounts tend to be large and complex to allow high precision true gimbal motion at the optic surface. As a result, they are usually expensive. The ULTIMA-G has a simple patented design, allowing cost-effective, true gimbal mounts without the usual complexity. Like all ULTIMA mounts, thick front and rear plates and optimized, stiff springs improve the long-term stability and provide greater protection against vibrations.

This 1 inch (25.4 mm) base model does not include actuators. Actuators can be quickly changed to accommodate a broad selection of adjustment screws, micrometers, and motorized actuators. What makes the ULTIMA-G unique? The optic surface is mounted at the center of a sphere. Rotation of the sphere results in pure tilt at the center, without the translation found in all kinematic optical mounts. That means your beam will go exactly where you expect, without having to make iterative adjustments of the axes. The optic mounts from the rear so that the optical surface is at the plane of rotation, regardless of the optic thickness. Slotted mounting holes on two sides are compatible with either 8-32 or M4 screws for convenient mounting.
