Low-Profile Channel Screws in RM1G

Construction Cubes
The RM1G and RM1F(/M) Construction Cubes aid in building rigid 3D structures from our Ø1" pedestal posts, 25 mm rails, and other optomechanics. They are machined from a single block of aluminum, providing excellent rigidity, and their faces are parallel and perpendicular to within 0.002" (0.05 mm). The RM1G features three 1/4"-20 (M6) counterbores on adjacent faces, while the RM1F contains a centered 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped hole on all six sides.

Low-Profile Channel Screws
In order to fasten optomechanics to the adjacent faces of the RM1G construction cube, our Low-Profile Channel Screws are required. These low-profile screws feature a shortened cap height relative to standard cap screws. This shortened cap allows the screws to be inserted into the RM1G at right angles, as shown to the right.

Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Thank you for pointing this out! We have an engineer going over the drawings and series. The RM1G can be used with our SH6M10LP M6 channel screws, but we currently do not have plans for a fully metric (25mm) cube. We would love to get your feedback on this design’s benefits so that we can add it to our customer inspired ideas and I will contact you to continue this conversation.

There is a mistake on the drawing of part RM1G. The length of the side of the cube should be 25.4 mm (and not 25 mm). Do you have any plans to introduce a fully metric 25-mm-square construction cube?

Response from Thorlabs to last poster: We will look into modifying the /M cubes for fully metric dimensions. We have to evaluate the impact this design change would have on all the matching components. Please contact us at techsupport@thorlabs.com for follow up.

The metric version of the 1-inch construction cubes have, indeed, 1 inch long dimension. Only threads are changed. Would it be more logical to have a construction cube with 25.0mm external dimension?

Counterbored Construction Cube
RM1G Corner

RM1G Linking Three 25 mm Rails
  • Holds up to Three Optomechanics at Right Angles
  • One-Piece Aluminum Construction for Excellent Rigidity
  • Parallel and Perpendicular to Within 0.002" (0.05 mm)

The RM1G Construction Cube contains three 1/4"-20 (M6) counterbores on adjacent faces. Since it is machined from a single block of aluminum, it is ideal for constructions that need the highest available degree of sturdiness. It can be connected to up to three optomechanics by tightening our Low-Profile Channel Screws (sold below) through the counterbores, as shown in the image to the right.

If compatibility with more than three optomechanics is needed, or if optomechanics are to be placed on opposing faces, please consider the RM1F Construction Cube below.

Standard Cap Screw in RM1G
  • Sold in Boxes of 100 Screws
  • SH25LP38: 1/4"-20 Threading, 1/8" Hex Head
  • SH6M10LP: M6 Threading, 4 mm Hex Head

Our Low-Profile Channel Screws have a reduced cap height relative to standard screws, permitting them to be used in tight spaces. In particular, they are recommended when neighboring screws are at a right angle and in close proximity, as in our XE25W3 Corner Cube or RM1G Construction Cube.

Shown to the right are a standard cap screw and a low-profile channel screw installed in an RM1G cube. The low-profile screw's shortened cap height prevents neighboring screws from interfering with each other.
