Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Hold components that do not fit a circular mount — wedges, assemblies and custom substrates.
Reach optics in places where a standard post and holder will not physically fit.
Purpose-built retention for a component whose handling requirements are unusual.
System integration
Use these checks to connect MAD-M22-Cmount to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Optics Thickness C(mm): 1"-1/32 · Clear Aperture d(mm): Ø17. 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.
MAD-M22-Cmount. 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.
Model selection
Compare MAD-M22-Cmount with the closest available models in the MAD-M22 series Adaptors for OMxA Kinematic Mount family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.

Before you specify
Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.
Opto-mechanicsVibration, thermal drift and mechanical integration are one problem. Budget the motion at the sample, then specify the table, the isolation, the mounts and the beam height that budget asks for.
