Micro-actuator mounting bracket CLX-3

The Siskiyou CLX-3 Series Mount is an eXtreme cylindrical lens mount that combines rotation on the optical axis, tip and tilt adjustment into a robust package adjustable from the top. Its unique frame accommodates three different sizes of cylindrical lens. The adjustment knob for the rotational axis allows precise squaring of the lens to an input beam or positioning of an output beam's axis, and is conveniently located at the top of the assembly for easy access. Pin pockets in the base ensure rock-solid attachment to your optical chassis. Based on the lock architecture of Siskiyou's OTX optical translators, these mounts can withstand a 4G jolt without moving more than 5 microns once locked into position, making the eXtreme series ideal for critical applications.
