Optical tables provide a mounting surface from whichmany different types of experiments can be set up.

• Ferritic stainless steel surface for magnetic bases• Inch or metric mounting holes• Available in a variety of sizes

For more information, go to page 34.1.

Kinematic Bases These bases feature a true kinematic design which constrains

the top plate in five degrees of freedom. Magnetic couplingbetween the top and bottom plate provides the sixth constraint.Three-arc-second repeatability is provided by three stainless steelhemispheres which fit into three hardened steel grooves on theunderside of the plate.

$ The top plates are interchangeable.

$ Magnetic coupling provides clip-less removal of the top plate.

$ The bottom plate clearance holes are compatible with bothinch and metric mounting systems.

$ The bases are made of aluminum with a black-anodizedfinish.

Magnetic Bases Magnetic bases enable quick assembly and teardown of optical

experiments. The industry-standard mounting threads on theoptional top plates allow use with virtually all optical componentholders while the magnetic bottom permits quick and stable attach-ment to optical tables. Unlike screw-mounted components, whoseposition on an optical table is limited, parts mounted on magneticbases enjoy the versatility of being easily positionable to any loca-tion or orientation.

Low-Profile Magnetic Bases

Low-Profile Magnetic Bases These magnetic bases serve as a stable, low-profile mounting

base for a large variety of opto-mechanical components. The per-manent magnets provide a large holding force which may be con-tinuously varied from the off position to its maximum holdingstrength.

$ The mounting holes accept a wide variety of translation androtation stages.

$ Bases are available in standard ¼-20 on 1-inch centers orM6 on 25-mm centers.

$ Bases are made from steel with a black chrome finish.
