LPCM Series Cage Adapter

Description

Product Description

• Adapts between different-sized cage systems using the adapter
• Couples 30 mm and 60 mm cage systems
• Compatible with PCM-S series cage rods
• Multiple adapter variants allow direct mounting of Ø1 inch optical components of various thicknesses
• Bottom M4 threaded holes for mounting Ø12 mm posts

Couples 30 mm and 60 mm cage assemblies via Ø6 mm cage rods. Two such adapters can bridge a 30 mm cage subassembly between them, allowing the entire 30 mm subsystem to slide along Ø6 mm cage rods as a single optomechanical unit. 60 mm cage assemblies can also be integrated using cage plate adapters.

Technical Description

(1) The cage plate adapter provides a simple way to couple 30 mm and 60 mm cage assemblies using our Ø6 mm cage rods. Different profile thicknesses suit limited axial space; the center SM1 (1.035″-40) threaded hole allows direct mounting of optical components of various thicknesses.

(2) The adapter series is available in multiple variants for mounting Ø1 inch optical components of different thicknesses:

• LPCM-A: Full SM1 thread, for optical components up to 8 mm thick
• LPCM-B: Partial SM1 thread, for optical components up to 9 mm thick
• LPCM-C: Smooth through hole with 3point retention, for optical components ≥3 mm thick
• LPCM-D: Full SM1 thread, for optical components up to 2 mm thick

(3) Each cage rod through hole has two set screws on the side, secured with a 1.3 mm hex wrench. M4 threaded holes are also provided for mounting Ø12 mm posts. The surface with M4 threaded holes is not wide enough for Ø1 inch posts.
