Mirror Mount, 0.5 in., Rear Loading , 2 Hex Actuators

M Series mounts are the industry's lowest cost mount. They hold the most frequently used optic sizes and are available in a host of configurations including Full Aperture, Hex-Driven, Clear Edge, CenterPoint™, Side-Clamp, Platform, and V-Groove versions.

Our extensive laboratory testing has shown that epoxying the optic in place provides optimal performance and stability for industrial application.  All M05 mirror mounts are designed with epoxy wells in the aperture to facilitate permanently bonding the mirror to the mount. 

These M05 mounts feature alignment pin holes (shown in red) on the bottom (base) of the mount to enable keying of the position and orientation by means of dowel pins when directly mounting. (Note: Dowel pins not included with mount.) This is especially helpful in OEM applications.

The M series mounts are offered in both front- and rear-loading versions. Installing a mirror from the front is more convenient, which can be useful when replacing mirrors without having to disrupt an optical system setup or remove its components. Rear-loading a mirror guarantees that the reflective surface will be flat on the face of the mount irrespective of the mirror's thickness.

All M-series mirror mounts have an angular range of ±4° with the equipped 100-TPI adjustment screws that provide a 25% improvement in adjustment sensitivity over competing mounts having 80-TPI adjusters. Better adjustability means faster, easier alignment.
