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

Cage System Filter Mount with Sliding Modular Inserts
Zolix provides Filter Mount CSM1-SF with two CSM1-SF-IS inserts for up to four Ø25.4 mm optics, the inserts can be ordered separately.

Where CSM1-SF fits
CSM1-SF is listed as Cage System Filter Mount with Sliding Modular Inserts in the Cage System Filter Mount with Sliding Modular Inserts family. The local catalog record provides these first selection fields: Optic Diameter: Ø25.4 mm; Installation Hole: M4.

Application context
Why this design is used
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Modular subassembly building
Build a relay, filter block or launch module that can be moved between setups intact.
Compact instrument integration
Package an optical train into a rigid unit for OEM and portable instruments.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect CSM1-SF to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optic it accepts
- Optic Diameter: Ø25.4 mm
- 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
- Installation Hole: M4
- 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.
Technical FAQ
Integration questions for CSM1-SF
Which optics fit the CSM1-SF?
Optic Diameter: Ø25.4 mm. 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 CSM1-SF mount?
