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.

The LBTEK Z-Axis Translation Mount provides repeatable Z-axis travel through a flexure mechanism, compensating for focus errors in applications such as fiber alignment or spatial filtering. It features translation via a precision micrometer actuator with 1 µm graduations, offering 2 mm of travel in the Z-direction. The lens mount has SM1 (1.035"-40) internal threads and includes two SM1R retaining rings for securing optical components up to 7.2 mm thick with a Ø1-inch diameter. For thicker optical components, an SM1 lens tube can be mounted. The micrometer head is adjustable via a knurled knob or a 2 mm hex wrench. When mounted from the bottom, the distance from the center of the lens mount to the top of the post is 50 mm, while mounting from the side reduces this distance to 17.1 mm. The base of the mount includes three M4 threaded holes and two M6 threaded holes, with two additional M4 threaded holes on the side, facilitating mounting Ø12.7 mm, Ø25 mm, or Ø38 mm posts as needed.

The LBTEK Z-axis translation mount is an optical mount that enables precise positioning along the optical axis. It provides repeatable Z-axis travel within a 16 mm coaxial system, and can be used for optical fiber alignment in coaxial systems or for compensating focusing errors in spatial filtering applications. The translation ring of the mount features an SM1 (0.535"-40) internal thread. It is translated by a precision micrometer drive with 1 µm graduation, with a translation travel of 1.0 mm. The micrometer head is engraved with scale marks indicating the effective travel range, and can be adjusted via a knurled knob or a 2 mm hex wrench. Two SM05R retaining rings are included for securing Ø1 inch (12.7 mm) Optical Components with a maximum thickness of 7.2 mm. The mount has one M4 threaded hole for connection in free space. Purchasing an LBTEK Z-axis translation mount includes a 2.0 mm hex wrench as a complimentary gift.
