Mini Optical Rails and Carriers

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications and descriptions for Mini Optical Rails and Carriers, which are part of opto-mechanical systems used in various optical assemblies. These components are designed for compact, low-profile setups with precision machined surfaces.

Specifications: The Mini Optical Rails are available in six standard lengths ranging from 1.5 to 24 inches (37 to 600 mm). They feature a dovetail design for easy attachment and alignment of components. The rails ensure smooth carrier translation and wobble-free clamping.

Components: The system includes various models such as MRL-1.5, MRL-3, MRL-6M, MRL-12M, MRL-18M, and MRL-24M. Each model has specific thread dimensions and lengths, allowing for modular assembly. The carriers, including MCF, MCC, and MCD, are designed for secure attachment and precise alignment.

Features: The carriers are spring-loaded and made from hard polymer guides to ensure wobble-free motion. They can be positioned along the rail without removing other components, allowing for close spacing between optical elements.

Applications: These components are suitable for creating three-dimensional structures such as beam steering devices. They are compatible with various optic holders and MT Series Linear and Rotation Stages.

Ordering Information: The document lists the available models and their corresponding lengths, along with related products like MH Series Optical Mounts and MT Series Linear Translation Stages.

Diagrams: The document includes diagrams for each model, detailing dimensions and hole placements for precise assembly and integration into optical systems.

Their precision dovetail construction allows components to be quickly attached, aligned, and rigidly held anywhere along the rail using MC Series rail carriers. The Mini Rails, which are available in six different standard lengths from 1.5–24 in. (37–600 mm), provide smooth carrier translation and wobble free clamp down. With the SS-2 Spacer Set, sturdy three-dimensional structures, such as beam steering devices, can be assembled. The set has 5 spacers. The Mini Rail Carriers attach anywhere along the rails to quickly and securely tie down optical components. Spring-loaded hard polymer guides along the mating surfaces of the carriers ensure wobble-free sliding motion and dependable linear alignment. By backing out the clamping screw, any carrier can be positioned along a rail without removing other components. These one-piece aluminum carriers present a low profile and allow close spacing between components. Three versions are offered and can be used with a variety of optic holders and MT Series Linear and Rotation Stages. Interconnecting link on MRL-6M and MRL-12M allows any length to be rigidly assembled in multiples of 6 or 12 in.
