The AG-M050N 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) Agilis™ Optical Mount features Newport’s new, proprietary, non-resonant piezo direct motors. These highly integrated motors are directly coupled to the moving platen. When idle, spring forces lock the mirror’s position for true set and forget long term stability. Agilis mounts have a faster adjustment speed than alternative screw driven designs. In contrast to ultrasonic motors, the Agilis non-resonant motor concept makes small adjustments more predictable with its 50 nm incremental motion capability, ideal for ultra-sensitive optical alignments. Use with either the Agilis AG-UC2 handheld, AG-UC8 or AG-UC8PC controllers.
The Agilis proprietary piezo technology provides 50 nm incremental motion capability, translating to resolutions as small as 1 µrad, making them ideal for ultra-sensitive alignments and optical adjustments.
The Agilis piezo motors are directly coupled to the moving optics holder for robust and predictable performance. When idle, the motor spring force locks the mirror in place, providing true set and forget stability. Agilis mounts also have a fast adjustment speed and are free of issues associated with backlash or hysteresis.
