Features

  • Compatible with Many Thorlabs Optomechanical Devices
  • Compact Structure Suitable for Mounting Lens Tubes and Cage Structures in Confined Spaces
  • Threaded 1/4"-20 (M6) Holes Provide Numerous Mounting Options

Thorlabs' Clear Aperture Right-Angle Brackets provide a threaded clear aperture on both mounting surfaces, allowing them to be positioned directly within a beam path. The CAM1(/M) bracket offers two SM1 (1.035"-40) threaded mounting apertures, while the CAM2(/M) bracket offers one SM2 (2.035"-40) and one SM1-threaded aperture. These clear apertures are directly compatible with SM-threaded components such as our Lens Tubes. Tapped 4-40 holes on one surface are compatible with Thorlabs' 60 mm Cage Structures, as shown in the figure to the right. This rigid structure provides the strength and stability required to support large cantilever loads like lens tubes containing several optics.

Each bracket surface has an array of 1/4"-20 (M6) and 6-32 (M4) tapped holes. One surface also has slots for 1/4"-20 (M6) cap screws for convenient mounting to an optical table. The angled support has two #8 (M4) counterbores and one 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped hole for even greater versatility.

Please Note: The SM-threaded holes for previous versions of these brackets were offset by 0.06" (1.5 mm). This offset was corrected for the CAM1/M as of December 12, 2014, the CAM2/M as of February 10, 2015, and the CAM1 and CAM2 as of April 23, 2015.

I am looking for a lens mount for the olympus rms10x

Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. The SM1A3 would adapt your RMS threads to SM1 threading, which is our standard optical threading. Once you have such an adapter you can use any of our threaded 1" optomech (SM1) to mount this objective.

I was looking for an angle plate to mount KCB1E mirror mount and couldn't find one. Please advise

Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Our right angle adapters can be used for this application: https://www.thorlabs.us/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_ID=223. For example, the AB90F would be a good option.

This is the worst product ever, whoever thought of it should be cained! While it looks like a right angle bracket with two threaded holes that look at the same point in space 90º from each other, it is not. It might captivate ones attention as a great product for use with a prism and tube optics, it is a great way to have a frustrating morning. A big warning on the purchase page to let anyone know that the product is fairly useless for any optics involving a right angle application would be nice.

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: Thank you for contacting us regarding the CAM1 you received. This was an oversight on our part and we will be updating the hole positions. I will contact you directly and send you a replacement part.
