60 mm coaxial system cylindrical lens mount
The LBTEK 60 mm coaxial system cylindrical lens mount is designed for mounting cylindrical lenses or other rectangular optical components into a 60 mm coaxial system. The mount primarily consists of three main parts: upper and lower sliding arms, a coaxial plate, and two 75 mm long Ø6 mm coaxial rods. The optical component is mounted between the two sliding arms, each of which is lined with a rubber pad and features an edge that conforms to the lens surface for secure lens fixation.
Each sliding arm and the coaxial plate are secured to the Ø6 mm posts using two M3 set screws. The sliding arms and coaxial plate can be independently adjusted and locked. Therefore, when loosening the coaxial plate while tightening the sliding arms, users can translate the lens parallel to the coaxial rods (i.e., in the lateral direction) without affecting other parts of the coaxial system. Additionally, users can reposition the sliding arms from one side of the coaxial plate to the other, enabling switching between left-handed and right-handed configurations based on the application.
Furthermore, both sides of the coaxial plate feature scale markings, with primary divisions spaced at 5 mm and secondary divisions at 1 mm, covering a total length of 50 mm. To assist in aligning the optical component coaxially, since the central main scale line on the coaxial plate is positioned on the system's centerline and the cylindrical lens axis is parallel to the sliding arms, users can achieve coaxial alignment by comparing the upper and lower scale lines on the coaxial plate while adjusting the sliding arms.
