Polaris Ø1” Mirror Mount with 3 Low-Profile Hex Adjusters and Monolithic Optic Retention

The Polaris Ø1” Mirror Mount, model POLARIS-K1E3, is a high-quality optical component manufactured by Thorlabs, a renowned brand in the field of optics and photonics. This kinematic optic mount is designed for use with circular optical components, with a maximum diameter of 25.4 mm and a minimum thickness of 3.556 mm.

The mount features three low-profile hex adjusters, providing a compact design that minimizes the overall height of the mounted optic. These adjusters allow for precise tip-tilt adjustments, with an adjustment per revolution of 7.7° and a fine tilt angular range of 4°. The adjustment screw thread is 100 threads per inch (TPI), ensuring smooth and accurate movements.

The POLARIS-K1E3 is constructed from stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosion. It is compatible with vacuum environments, with a vacuum compatibility of 1e-09 torr. The mount is designed to be post-mounted, with 8-32 post mounting screws.

For optimal optic retention, the mount features a monolithic design, securely holding the optic without the need for additional lock nuts. The mount is also available in a step file, POLARIS-K1E3-Step, for further customization and integration into optical systems.
