The NEWPORT / NRC 38 OPTICAL MOUNT is a precision mounting plate engineered to position and secure optical components within experimental setups. Constructed from black anodized aluminum alloy, it functions as a versatile interface to optical tables, rod/clamp assemblies, and translation stages, providing a stable foundation for optical benches and instrumentation.
Technical Specifications
Type: Mounting Plate
Material: Aluminum Alloy (Black Anodized)
Dimensions:
• Length: 76.2 mm (3 inches)
• Width: 127 mm (5 inches)
• Height: 12.7 mm (0.5 inches)
Thread Type: 1/4-20
Hole Pattern: Array of 1/4-20 threaded holes on 1-inch and 0.5-inch spacing patterns, with counterbored through holes. This configuration supports mounting of English-standard components onto metric optical tables.
– Key Features
• Black anodized aluminum construction ensures corrosion resistance and optical isolation
• Dual metric/English hole pattern spacing enables flexible component integration
• Counterbored through holes accommodate fastening from either side
• Low-profile 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) height minimizes vertical stack-up in compact assemblies
• 1/4-20 threading provides industry-standard compatibility with rod mounts and translation stages
– Typical Applications
• Optical table mounting interface for laser systems and photonics instruments
• Component positioning in rod/clamp-based optical assemblies
• Translation stage adapter plates
• Multi-axis optical bench configurations
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed to interface with metric optical tables while accommodating English-threaded component standards. Works with 1/4-20 fastened components and rod clamp systems. The rectangular footprint (76.2 mm × 127 mm) integrates into standard optical table grid layouts.
