Application context
Why this design is used
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Cylindrical optic clocking
Set the rotational orientation of a cylindrical lens so its power axis lands where intended.
Beam-folding geometry
Hold a folding prism steady where a mirror pair would introduce extra alignment freedom.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect NCM40 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optic it accepts
- Optic Size (mm): φ10~φ40
- Check diameter and thickness together. A holder that accepts the diameter can still fail to retain an optic that is thinner than its minimum, and clear aperture is normally smaller than the optic the mount holds.
- Mounting interface
- Mounting Hole: M6，sink holeφ8
- Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
- Adjustment
- Adjustment Angle Range (°): ±3 · Resolution: angular adjustment per revolution(°): ≈0.2
- Adjuster pitch sets the sensitivity you can actually work at. Confirm whether the stated figure is a total range or a per-revolution increment, and whether the mechanism is locked after adjustment.
- Material and finish
- Main Body Material and Treatment: Aluminium alloy, surface treated by black anodic oxidation.
- Aluminium moves about 23 ppm per kelvin and stainless about 16. In a path where thermal drift is already budgeted, the material of the mount belongs in that budget rather than in the appearance of the part.
- Dimensions and mass
- Net Weight (g): 230
- Use the stated geometry and mass to fix beam height, clearance and the load carried by whatever this part is bolted to. These are the numbers that decide whether adjacent components physically collide.
Technical FAQ
Integration questions for NCM40
Which optics fit the NCM40?
Optic Size (mm): φ10~φ40. Check diameter and thickness together. A holder that accepts the diameter can still fail to retain an optic that is thinner than its minimum, and clear aperture is normally smaller than the optic the mount holds.
How does the NCM40 mount?
Mounting Hole: M6，sink holeφ8. Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
What adjustment range does the NCM40 offer?
Adjustment Angle Range (°): ±3 · Resolution: angular adjustment per revolution(°): ≈0.2. Adjuster pitch sets the sensitivity you can actually work at. Confirm whether the stated figure is a total range or a per-revolution increment, and whether the mechanism is locked after adjustment.
What is the NCM40 made from?
Main Body Material and Treatment: Aluminium alloy, surface treated by black anodic oxidation.. Aluminium moves about 23 ppm per kelvin and stainless about 16. In a path where thermal drift is already budgeted, the material of the mount belongs in that budget rather than in the appearance of the part.
What are the dimensions of the NCM40?
Net Weight (g): 230. Use the stated geometry and mass to fix beam height, clearance and the load carried by whatever this part is bolted to. These are the numbers that decide whether adjacent components physically collide.
