Flexure Mounts, Beam Splitter, Top Adjustable

   The IXFtbsa series are a new version of our popular IXFa monolithic flexure mounts.  This new variation incorporates the same features as our IXFa but has the tip/tilt adjustments moved to create top-adjusted flexure.  This new feature is ideal for applications where accessibility to the mount is limited and our standard model can't be accessed.  Built into the top-adjustment mechanism is a simple split-clamp lock for the 100TPI adjustment screws.  These locks work best when they are pre-loaded prior to adjustment, adjustment made, then locked in place.  We have also added clear aperture cut-outs to maximize beam clearance for beam splitter applications.  These cut-outs are set at 45°, but are large enough to accommodate variations out to ± 5°.  These mounts use our 100TPI rolled thread adjustment screws for low stiction fine adjustments and are swaged at the end to prevent over-travel of the mount.  

   These models are aluminum versions available as a lower cost option.  Aluminum models exhibit the same performance specifications as the steel models.  Custom OEM configurations are available in the aluminum version only.
