ø 152.4 - 609.6 mm, 4.5 - 264 kg | AOM130 series Aerotech

AOM130 series mounts have been designed to position large, heavy optics to 609.6 mm (24 inches) in diameter. These mounts are used in major fusion and high-powered laser research and development projects due to their excellent thermal stability and sub-arc sec resolution.

AOM130 series optical mounts have 360° rotation capability in both the azimuth and elevation axes. They have ball bearing gimbal pivots to eliminate unwanted motion (cross-talk); movement in azimuth and elevation is orthogonal and decoupled. A unique azimuth bearing system permits operation of a fully-loaded mount in any plane including upside-down. With Aerotech's patented* sub arc second resolution drive, the angular range is quickly achieved while maintaining resolution as fine as 0.026 arcseconds.
