LMR Small Optic Adapters

Features

  • Mounts Odd-Sized Optics into our Standard LMR-Series Mounts
  • LMR05-Compatible Adapters can be Used Directly with SM05 Lens Tubes
  • LMRA10 Adapter Mounts into LMR18 Mount
  • Mounts for Ø5 mm, Ø6 mm, Ø6.35 mm, Ø7.0 mm,
    Ø7.4 mm, Ø8 mm, Ø9 mm, and Ø10 mm Optics
  • Glue Ports provided to secure optic into housing

In order to hold small optics, Thorlabs has introduced a series of stainless steel adapter rings that can be mounted in the LMR05 Ø1/2" Lens Mount (LMR18 Ø18 mm Lens Mount for LMRA10). These optic adapters are designed to allow the lens to be epoxied into place; simply place a drop or two of epoxy into each of the epoxy reservoirs located next to the lens in the adapter. Once the optic is secured in the adapter, the new assembly is held in our LMR05 with a SM05RR Retaining Ring. For optics with diameters greater than 10 mm, Thorlabs has expanded its existing line of LMR-Series lens mounts and retaining rings.

Incorporating Small Optics into Lens Tube Systems
In addition to providing a means for mounting small optics in our LMR series of lens mounts, the LMRA series of adapters (with the exception of LMRA10) are directly compatible with our SM05 Series Lens Tubes, making it possible to insert Ø5 - Ø9 mm optics into a lens tube system.

Response from Buki at Thorlabs to Johannes: We recently introduced some adapters that make it easier to use 5 to 20mm diameter optics with our SM1 and 30mm Cage system. We will update our web page with these additional mounting options. Below is the link to the adapters. I have also matched the adapter to the lenses you mentioned: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=1746 AL1210: SM1A6T AS1512: SM1AD15 AL1815: SM1AD18 AL2018: SM1AD20 The adapters come with two retaining rings each for holding the lens in place. You can use our adjustable spanner wrench, SPW801, to conveniently thread the retaining rings. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have further questions.

And how about adapters to SM1? I need to use 30 mm cage system and would like to adapt AL1210, AL1512, AL1815, AL2018 to SM1 or dia 1" or 25mm. But there seems to be no alternative way than do-it-youself...

Javier Jurado: Response from Javier at Thorlabs to cguertin: Thank you for submitting your inquiry. We currently do not offer a direct adapter for 10 mm optics to SM05 lens tubes and mounts. However, there is a very straightforward way of mounting the ACL108 into an SM05 lens tube like the SM05L20. You can use two SM05LTRR stress-free retaining rings, one of each side of the optic, to secure the optic in place. Keep in mind, however, that he clear aperture of the lens will be slightly reduced. SM05LTRR: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=1433&pn=SM05LTRR#1536 Alternatively, we recently added a few small optic adapters for our SM1 threaded lens tubes and mounts, including one for 10 mm diameter optics. Please follow the link for our SM1AD10 adapter below: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=1746&pn=SM1AD10#2595

How about a SM05 adapter for 10mm diam optics? Specifically, how would you mount ACL108 in SM05L10?
