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.
Datasheet (PDF) ↗CAD Model (RAR) ↗Catalog context
CSM1-SF-IS 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; Acceptable Optic Thickness: 6 mm.
| Optic Diameter | Ø25.4 mm |
|---|---|
| Acceptable Optic Thickness | 6 mm |
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-SF-IS to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Optic Diameter: Ø25.4 mm · Acceptable Optic Thickness: 6 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.
Model selection
Compare CSM1-SF-IS with the closest available models in the Cage System Filter Mount with Sliding Modular Inserts family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.
