Manual Gimbal Mounts
Manual Gimbal Mounts
The AOM130 series mounts have been designed to position large, heavy optics to 24 inches (609.6 mm) in diameter. These mounts are used in major fusion and high-powered laser research and development projects due to their excellent thermal stability and sub-arc sec resolution. The AOM130 series optical mounts have 3600 rotation capability in both the azimuth and elevation axes. They have ball bearing gimbal pivots to eliminate unwanted motion (cross-talk); movement in azimuth and elevation is orthogonal and decoupled. A unique azimuth bearing system permits operation of a fullyloaded mount in any plane including upside-down. With Aerotech"s patented sub arc second resolution drive, the angular range is quickly achieved while maintaining resolution as fine as 0.026 arc-second.
