Pre-aligned optical axes
Four rods define the axis, so every element threaded onto them starts square and centred.

Rotary Quick-Release 30 mm Cage Mount
The CSM1-F is suitable for mounting in a 30mm cage system, supports 360°manual rotation of the optics, and comes with two retain rings that can be used to mount optics with a diameter of 25.4 and a maximum thickness of 7mm.

Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Four rods define the axis, so every element threaded onto them starts square and centred.
Build a relay, filter block or launch module that can be moved between setups intact.
Package an optical train into a rigid unit for OEM and portable instruments.
System integration
Use these checks to connect CSM1-F to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Optics Diameter: Ø25.4mm · Optics Thickness: 7.4mm. 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.
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.
