Kinematic Mount with Vertical Drives

Thorlabs offers kinematic mounts with vertical drives for both Ø1/2" and Ø1" optics. Since these mounts locate all of the adjusters outside of the optical path, they are ideal for compact setups. Both mounts feature an angular adjustment range of ±3°.

FYI: The step model of VM1 seems to be a little messed up. The plate for mounting the optic is offset to the left, unphysically.

Response from Chris at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. The front plate does appear to be offset, looks like it was mated to the edge of the cutout rather than being centered. I will try to get this updated. Thank you for pointing this out.

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs to Fran: The VM05 and VM1 use setscrews to hold the optic in place instead of retaining rings. Therefore, there's not really a maximum optic thickness. The minimum optic thickness is about 0.14" (3.6 mm).

What is the maximum thickness optic the VM05 and VM1 can support? Thanks, Fran

Thorlabs' VM05(/M) Compact Kinematic Mount with Vertical Drive features top-mounted actuators designed to keep the beam path clear, which is ideal for use with high-power lasers. Sensitivity is achieved by two fine adjustment screws that offer a 1/2° of angular adjustment per revolution. The VM05(/M) mount offers a total angular range of ±3° and a Ø0.44" (11.2 mm) clear aperture. A nylon-tipped locking setscrew secures the Ø1/2" optic. The mount's thick main body increases rigidity to prevent flexing during adjustment.
