The LBTEK Z-Axis Translation Mount is an optical mount capable of precise positioning along the optical axis. It provides repeatable Z-axis travel within a 30 mm coaxial system, suitable for applications such as fiber alignment in coaxial systems or compensating for focus errors in spatial filtering. The translation mount features an SM1 (1.035"-40) internal thread on the translation ring, driven by a precision micrometer actuator with 1 µm graduations, offering a travel range of 1.0 mm. The micrometer head is marked with an effective travel range scale and can be adjusted using either a knurled knob or a 2 mm hex wrench. The mount includes two SM1R retaining rings for securing optical components up to 7.2 mm thick and Ø1 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter. Additionally, it has one M4 threaded hole for free-space connections. Purchasing the LBTEK Z-Axis Translation Mount includes one complimentary 2.0 mm hex wrench.

The Z-Axis Translation Mount is commonly used in coaxial systems.
