Newport offers a selection of both standard and precision adjustable lens mounts. The standard AC Series Adjustable Lens Mounts have been designed for versatility, ease of use and performance. They provide rigid support and assured orientation for round objects of virtually any thickness and length. Their three Delrin support arms slide smoothly for easy position adjustment and are secured in place by thumbscrews.

Installing optics is easy. Set the lower support arms at any desired radius; insert your element; and adjust the top arm downward to securely hold the optic. The support arms are designed with a narrow V-groove on one end for mounting thin lenses, and a broad modified V-groove (L-shaped) tip on the other end for mounting thick lenses, mirrors, and beamsplitters. To change tips, simply remove the thumbscrew and reverse the support arms.

Long objects, like cylindrical laser heads, can be supported using two AC Series mounts. The AC Series Adjustable Lens Mounts incorporate a counter bored clearance hole in their base, compatible with both 8-32 and M4 screws. This allows for easy attachment to English or Metric SP and MSP Series posts, as well as Newport’s PS Series Pedestal Posts. 
The precision ALM Series Lens Mounts allow optics to be precisely centered in a beam then easily removed and replaced with excellent repeatability. Lenses are positioned by three 40 tpi stainless steel shaft assemblies, two rigid and one spring-loaded; each has removable Delrin V-groove tips.

Installing optics is easy. Set the two rigid steel shafts to the desired radius, insert your element and adjust the spring loaded shaft until the optic is held securely in place. In addition to the snap-in V-groove tips for mounting thin optics, a set of L-shaped tips for mounting thick lenses, mirrors and beamsplitters is also included. The spare tips are conveniently stored on the outer diameter of the ALM housing. Long objects, like cylindrical laser heads, can be supported using two ALM Series mounts.

The ALM Series Lens Mounts incorporate a counter bored clearance hole in their base that is compatible with both 8-32 and M4 screws. This allows for easy attachment to English or Metric SP and MSP Series posts, as well as Newport’s PS Series 1 inch Optical Pedestals.
