on the gimbal
AOM130 series mounts have been designed to position
large, heavy optics to 609.6 mm (24 inches) in diameter.
These mounts are used in major fusion and high-powered
laser research and development projects due to their
excellent thermal stability and sub-arc-sec resolution.
AOM130 series optical mounts have 360° rotation
capability in both the azimuth and elevation axes. They
have ball bearing gimbal pivots to eliminate unwanted
motion (cross-talk); movement in azimuth and elevation is
orthogonal and decoupled. A unique azimuth bearing
system permits operation of a fully-loaded mount in any
plane including upside-down. With Aerotech's patented*
sub arc second resolution drive, the angular range is quickly
achieved while maintaining resolution as fine as 0.026 arcseconds.

The fine thimble has a 32-division scale for reference. The
spring loaded drive mechanism assures smooth, low stiction
and backlash-free motion. 360° rotation is obtained by
releasing the cell or yoke clamp screws (tool provided). The
mount's precision drive mechanism is unaffected when the
clamp screws are disengaged. The mount and drive
mechanisms feature extremely low backlash and excellent
thermal stability (less than two microradians per °C).
Adapters for 5, 8 and 10 inch (127.0, 203.2, and 254.0 mm)
optics add versatility and value to the AOM130 series
mounts. The optics and/or adapters are held in place with
three retaining clips with non-marring set screws. The nonmarring set screws permit rigid placement of various optic
thicknesses.
