Our Mounting Platforms for 34 mm Rails adapt standard optomechanics into a 34 mm rail system. Two options are available: dovetail mounting platforms and mounting clamps. Mounting Platforms Mounting Clamps Thorlabs offers a wide and growing complement of accessories for 34 mm rails, including clamps and angle brackets, breadboard mounts, rail carriers, mounting platforms, lens tube adapters, and rail joiners. Together with size adapters that incorporate 66 mm and 95 mm rails into an XT34 setup, these tools provide a complete family of rigid, versatile building blocks suited for virtually any optomechanical setup.

XT34 Mounting Platforms come in either 30 mm or 50 mm lengths. The 30 mm version (XT34D2-30) holds a single mechanical component, and is perfectly sized to match our XT34C2 Double Dovetail Clamp. In contrast, the 50 mm version (XT34D2-50) can hold up to three mechanical components, and is ideal for situations where optomechanics must be placed in close proximity. Because the platforms have minimal height, the caps of standard 1/4"-20 or M6 cap screws protrude from the dovetail if they are installed. Thorlabs therefore recommends that low-profile cap screws, which feature a reduced cap height, are used instead. These are offered in both 1/4"-20 and M6 varieties below. ![]() ![]() Click to Enlarge XT34HP Fastens to a Rail without Additional Clamps ![]() Click to Enlarge The XT34HP Mounting Clamp can be used to secure a rail to a breadboard or optical table.
Our XT34HP Mounting Clamp has a built-in dovetail clamp for direct compatibility with 34 mm rails. It contains two 1/4" (M6) counterbored holes that can be used to mount posts, pedestal posts, or post holders to the top or side of a 34 mm rail, as shown in the image to the right. The counterbores in this part accept standard and low-profile cap screws. When flipped, the clamp can also be used to secure a 34 mm rail to a breadboard. The spacing between the counterbores, which is either 1" (25.4 mm) or 25 mm, is specifically designed for direct compatibility with either imperial or metric breadboards. ![]() These 1/4"-20 (M6) screws are used to attach optomechanical components to our XT34 mounting platforms. The low-profile head provides the clearance needed to fasten the mounting platform to an XT34 rail clamp.
