Request InfoSiskiyou Corp.Siskiyou Corp.'s new one-piece flexure mounts have lower drift and greater mechanical stability than flexure mounts that are welded or stamped together. One-piece construction creates fewer internal stresses for improved adjustment orthogonality, with no stressed joints to crack or break in high-vibration environments. The design is scalable for custom OEM versions. Optical and fiber mounts for standard connectors are available. The flexure can be bulkhead or chassis mounted, from either side. Integral thread-adjustment locks are available. The mount is available in either aluminum or...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 7/26/2022Optical MountsThe E-Series of Adjustable Size Kinematic Optical Mounts from Edmund Optics Inc. can be used for mounting a wide range of round, rectangular, and square optical components, including round and...Photonics.com 8/18/2023Linear Servo ActuatorThe GVCM-095-064-01 Linear Servo Actuator from Moticont is a compact solution that merges high-precision with high-force capabilities.
