• Two M2.5 x 0.20 Fine Adjusters for ±5° of Tip and Tilt Control
• Designed for Use with the Mini-Series Clamping Arm (Sold Below)
• 4-40 (M3) Tapped Through Holes in Back Plate of Mount for Ø6 mm Post Mounting
• Fabricated from Black Anodized Aluminum

Thorlabs' Mini-Series Kinematic Prism Mount provides kinematic control for prisms, cube beamsplitters, corner cubes, and other optics that require tip and tilt control. The mounting platforms contain three 4-40 (M3) tapped holes for the MPM05(/M) Clamping Arms sold below.

The MK05PM(/M) mount features M2.5 x 0.20 adjusters that can be actuated using a 0.05" (1.3 mm) ball driver or hex key. The HKTS-050 hex key adjuster knobs can also be used. An optional accessory, the F10SC1-5 Locking Collar, is available to lock the adjusters of these two mounts once the desired position is reached.

See the table below for details on the array of mounting holes on the platform of the prism mount.

Thorlabs' Mini-Series Clamping Arm provides clamping force to secure optics to our Mini-Series Kinematic Prism Mount. The MPM05(/M) clamping arm features a 0.37" (9.4 mm) center-to-center distance between the post and the nylon-tipped setscrew that holds the optic. The clamping arm features a 4-40 (M3) thread to mount the arm into the MK05PM(/M) Mount. It can accommodate optics up to 0.23" (6.3 mm) tall if mounted in one of the two 4-40 (M3) tapped holes on the platform of the prism mount. An additional 0.57" (14.5 mm) of height is gained if the clamping arm is mounted in the 4-40 (M3) tapped hole on the back plate of the prism mount. 

The clamping arm is attached to its post using a flexure mechanism that locks with a 5/64" (2.0 mm) balldriver or hex key. The setscrew on top of the clamping arm also accepts a 5/64" (2.0 mm) balldriver or hex key in order to clamp down on the optic. A through hole on the post can be leveraged for added torque when tightening down the post. Please see the diagram to the right for additional information.
