Mounting Plate/Adapter: Thickness 10-25 mm, Flatness ≤ 0.01 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered mounting plate or adapter designed to interface between a lens fixture/chuck and the optical system's base structure. It ensures accurate positioning, repeatable alignment, and stable mounting of optical components, minimizing vibration and thermal drift while maintaining optical axis integrity.

Working Principle

Provides a rigid, flat reference surface with precisely machined mounting holes and alignment features (such as dowel pins or kinematic mounts) to secure the lens fixture. It transfers clamping forces evenly, prevents distortion of optical elements, and allows for fine adjustments via shims or micrometer screws when integrated.

Materials

Typically aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6) for lightweight rigidity, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for corrosion resistance in harsh environments, or invar for ultra-low thermal expansion in high-precision applications. Surface finishes may include anodizing (for aluminum) or passivation (for stainless steel) to enhance durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a mounting plate/adapter in a lens fixture?

It provides a stable, accurate interface between the lens fixture/chuck and the optical system, ensuring precise alignment, repeatability, and minimal vibration or thermal effects on optical performance.

How do I select the right material for a mounting plate?

Choose based on application needs: aluminum for general use (lightweight, cost-effective), stainless steel for harsh environments (corrosion-resistant), or invar for high-precision systems requiring minimal thermal expansion.

Can mounting plates be customized for different lens sizes?

Yes, they are often custom-designed to match specific lens diameters, fixture types, and mounting configurations, with standardized hole patterns or bespoke features as required.
