The SM1A65 adapter is being used to secure a glue-in Polaris mount in an objective case.
Features
- External SM1 (1.035"-40) Threading
- Internal 1/4"-20 (M6) or 8-32 (M4) Threading
- 1/4" (M6) or #8 (M4) Counterbore
- Compatible with the SPW909 and SPW801 Spanner Wrenches
These anodized aluminum adapters feature external SM1 (1.035"-40) threading, spanner wrench slots, and internal threads or a counterbore that is compatible with many of our optomechanical components. This allows standard 1/4"-20 and 8-32 optomechanics, such as post assemblies and mounts, to be integrated with Thorlabs' components that incorporate our SM1-thread standard, such as our Ø1" lens tube systems. These adapters can also be used to store various optical components in a storage case by utilizing the SM1 threading included in the OC2SM1. An example of this can be seen to the right, where an SM1A65 is being used to secure a POLARIS-C1G glue-in mount for storage in the OC22 canister.
Thorlabs' Threading Specifications
Thorlabs' lens tubes utilize a series of non-standard threadings. Threading specifications are given below for our SM threadings utilized in our lens tube and cage system components so that you can machine mating components to suit your application. We also offer products with C-Mount and RMS threadings, and the specifications for these threadings are also given below. Please note that other manufacturers may have different tolerances for these threads. For other thread specifications that are not listed here, please contact Tech Support.

(posted 2018-04-18 10:34:52.0) Hello, thank you for your feedback. I have posted this idea to our internal engineering forum so it can be considered for a future product release. Currently, you can use the SM2A6 external SM2 to internal SM1 adapter to mate the adapters on this page to any internally SM2 threaded port. |
