Flexure Mounts, Single-axis

Flexure Mounts, Single-axis

   The IXF.S single-axis flexure is designed with the same features as our popular IXFi series flexure mounts.  We have split the two-axis design into a modular design that is useful where only one-axis for tilt is required.  The base of the IXF.S has a single 8-32 (M4) tapped hole for mounting, as well as one on the top for attachment.  Also included are two counterbored holes that can be accessed from the top for mounting to our .25dt dovetail and .5cr crossed roller stages for added coarse alignment.  On the edge of this mount are 4-40 tapped holes that correspond with clearance counterbores that are accessed from the bottom.  These are used to create upright tip/tilt mounts as shown in the insert on this page.

   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.  The IXF.S series mounts are manufactured from one solid piece of steel, then nickel plated so they will not corrode and can be used in ultraviolet laser environments.

   These models are also available in aluminum versions 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.
