The AOM110 series is used for major fusion and high-powered laser
research and development projects. These mounts have earned a
reputation for excellent vibration and thermal stability and unparalleled
resolution.
Improved Design
The AOM110s are now improved with non-marring set screws and increased
clear aperture at 45°. The non-marring set screws permit rigid
placement of various optic thicknesses, and the modified base
design permits transmission of larger diameter beams at a 45°
incidence.
High Resolution and Excellent Thermal Stability
With Aerotech's patented sub-arc second positioner, the large
angular range is quickly achieved, while maintaining resolution
to 0.03 arc seconds. The thimble has a fine 32-division reference
scale for convenience in positioning. These mounts have excellent
thermal stability (less than 2 micro radians per °C), owing
to careful matching of the coefficients of expansion for the special
brass alloy drive screw and the aluminum housing.
Operates in Any Plane
AOM110 series mounts have ball bearing gimbal pivots to eliminate
unwanted motion. Azimuth and elevation movements are decoupled
and orthogonal. The bearing system permits operation of the mount
in any plane, including upside-down. A spring loaded mechanism
assures low stiction, backlash-free motion over the full range.
