Platform Optical Mount, ULTIMA^®, 1.0 x 1.0 in., (3) 80-TPI Allen-Keys

Hex-Driven Miniature Platform Mirror Mounts

The U50-P ULTIMA^® Platform Mount offers unsurpassed functionality. Thick front and rear plates and optimized, stiff springs improve the long-term stability and provide greater protection against vibrations. Hard carbide pads enable smooth, repeatable motion. A large array of optical mounting accessories is available for these mounts making ULTIMA a basic building block for many optical systems. When this platform version is used with the included adaptor UPA-PA.5, it can be converted to a horizontal tip/tilt or tip/tilt and translation post-mounted platform for prisms, cube beamsplitters, and other components. When used with the optional Mirror Holder UPA.5 this mount provides a stable mounting platform for 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter mirrors. This version does not include actuators. Convenient clearance mounting holes on each of two sides are compatible with either 8-32 or M4 screws providing quicker, more precise, and more secure mounting.

Horizontal or Vertical Mounting

Both MM-HEX and P100-P series can be post mounted as a horizontal tip/tilt platform using the threaded hole in the center or a vertical mount using the threaded hole on the side.
U50-P ULTIMA platform mounts can also be mounted horizontally with adapter , which is already included in U50-P and U50-P1 models.

Allen-Key Adjustment

Allen-key adjustments screws are used in the miniature platform mounts to save space and prevent unintended adjustment. For long-term stability, U50-PL and U50-PL1 feature a flexure lock built into the mount body, which exerts a tangential force on the screw to prevent rotation.

Dedicated Mirror Adapters

Newport's Platform Mounts are complimented by a set of mirror cup adapters. The Mirror Cup Adapters are compatible with ULTIMA series and P100-P miniature platform mounts. They attach to the face of the platform mount through the 1/4-in. hole in the center of the platform and are locked in place by a set screw from the side. The Horizontal Adaptors attach to the mounting holes on an optical mount, providing a mechanism to convert the ULTIMA Platform Mounts to a post-mounted horizontal platform for mounting prisms, cube beamsplitters, or other components.
