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

Right-Angle Kinematic Mirror Mounts
Zolix cage systems right-angle mount is designed for a mirror whose nominal horizontal position is at a 45°angle, compatible with 30 mm cage systems which suitable for building compact systems.
Datasheet (PDF) ↗CAD Model (RAR) ↗Catalog context
CSRA1-B is listed as Right-Angle Kinematic Mirror Mounts in the Right-Angle Kinematic Mirror Mounts family. The local catalog record provides these first selection fields: Acceptable Optic Minimum Thickness: 3 mm; Cage rod fixed mode: Smooth bore hole; Adjuster: M4x0.2.
| Acceptable Optic Minimum Thickness | 3 mm |
|---|---|
| Cage rod fixed mode | Smooth bore hole |
| Adjuster | M4x0.2 |
| Number of adjust screw | 3 |
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 CSRA1-B to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Acceptable Optic Minimum Thickness: 3 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.
Adjuster: M4x0.2. 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.
Number of adjust screw: 3. 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.
Model selection
Compare CSRA1-B with the closest available models in the Right-Angle Kinematic Mirror Mounts 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.
