Thorlabs offers fixed and adjustable optic height kinematic mounts for square or rectangular optics, such as our square metallic or dielectric mirrors and diffraction gratings. The adjustable optic height mounts are designed to accept rectangular optics up to 1.3" (33.0 mm) tall, such as our cylindrical lenses. We also offer a 90° flip mount for rectangular optics.

The MK05S(/M) Mini-Series Kinematic Mount holds 1/2" tall rectangular optics that are at least 2.54 mm (0.10") thick, such as metallic or dielectric mirrors and diffraction gratings. The optic is secured with a nylon-tipped 0.050" (1.3 mm) hex setscrew. The setscrew and bottom of the mount provide three points of contact for stable mounting. This mount has two 4-40 (M3) threaded holes that enable horizontal or vertical mounting. This two-adjuster mount does not come with adjuster knobs, making it ideal for use in confined spaces. The M2.5 x 0.20 adjusters are actuated with a 0.050" (1.3 mm) hex key, such as our HKTS-050 Hex Key Thumbscrews. The angular displacement range of the mirror face is ±4° with an adjustment of 13.4 mrad (0.76°) per revolution. An optional accessory, the F10SC1-5 Locking Collar, is available to lock the M2.5 x 0.20 adjusters once the desired position is achieved. We also offer Mini-Series mounts for round mirrors. The KM05S(/M) and KM05SL(/M) Standard Mounts secure 1/2" rectangular optics that are at least 3.0 mm (0.12") thick using a nylon-tipped 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrew and a flexure clamp mechanism. The setscrew presses the flexure clamp against the edge of the optic to create an area of contact, holding the optic securely in the mount. The KM05S(/M) and KM05SL(/M) are right- and left-handed mounts, respectively. Each mount has two 8-32 (M4) tapped holes for mounting to our Ø1/2" posts. These mounts do not come with adjuster knobs, making them ideal for use in confined spaces. The 3/16"-100 adjusters are actuated with a 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex key, such as our HKTS-5/64 Hex Key Thumbscrews (sold below). An optional accessory, the F19SC1 Locking Collar, is available to lock the 3/16"-100 adjusters once the desired position is achieved. ![]() ![]() Click to Enlarge The KMSR(/M) mount also has an 8-32 (M4) tap for platform-mounting optics, like this PS995 dove prism.
These kinematic mounts are designed to hold 1" tall rectangular optics that are at least 3.0 mm (0.12") thick, such as metallic or dielectric mirrors and diffraction gratings. The KMSR(/M) Compact Mount features a compact design in which the optic is secured with a nylon-tipped 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrew, as shown in the photo to the right. The setscrew and bottom of the mount provide three points of contact for stable mounting. This mount has two 8-32 (M4) threaded holes that enable horizontal or vertical mounting. This two-adjuster mount does not come with adjuster knobs, making it ideal for use in confined spaces. The The KM100S and KM100SL Mounts secure 1" rectangular optics that are at least 3.0 mm (0.12") thick using a nylon-tipped 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrew and a flexure clamp mechanism. The setscrew presses the flexure clamp against the edge of the optic to create an area of contact, holding the optic securely in the mount. The KM100S and KM200S rectangular optic mounts are right handed, while the KM100SL and KM200SL are left handed. They feature two 1/4"-80 adjusters and include one 8-32 cap screw and one M4 cap screw for mounting to our Ø1/2" posts. An optional accessory, the LN2580 Bronze Locking Nut, is available to lock the 1/4"-80 adjusters once the desired position is reached. We also offer the F25SSK1L Large-Diameter Knob for finer actuator control and the PIAK10 Piezo Inertia Actuator for high-resolution motorized control. ![]()
Our KM200S(/M) and KM200SL(/M) Mounts hold 2" tall square or rectangular optics that are at least 3.0 mm (0.12") thick. We recommend these mounts for holding our square metallic or dielectric mirrors and diffraction gratings. The KM200S(/M) mounts is right handed, while the KM200SL is left handed. The optic is secured in each mount with a nylon-tipped 5/64" (2.0 mm) hex setscrew and a flexure clamp mechanism, as shown in the photo to the right. The setscrew presses the flexure clamp against the edge of the optic to create an area of contact, holding the optic securely in the mount.

The KM100C(L) Adjustable-Height Mounts are ideal for mounting cylindrical lenses of various sizes. They are available in right-handed (item # KM100C) or left-handed (item # KM100CL) configurations. Optics are securely held in place by two rubber-padded arms that can be locked with a 0.05" hex key. The length of the rubber pads is 0.79" (20.0 mm) and we recommend mounting optics with an edge thickness no greater than 0.3" (7.62 mm). Mounting larger optics may affect the stability and performance of the mounts. The mount accepts cylindrical optics up to 1.3" (33.0 mm) tall. The adjustable clamping arm is mounted to two preinstalled ER1.5 rods. To accommodate taller optics, additional ER rods (sold separately) can be screwed onto those included with the mount (as seen in the photo to the right). It also has two #8 (M4) counterbores for mounting to our Ø1/2" posts. The kinematic tip/tilt adjustments, driven by two 1/4"-80 adjusters, simplify positioning. An optional accessory, the LN2580 Bronze Locking Nut, is available to lock the adjusters once the desired position is reached. ![]()
These 5/64" Hex Key Adjuster Thumbscrews allow for quick adjustment of many 5/64" and 2 mm hex-driven actuators (or standard actuators with the knobs removed). These temporary knobs can be left in the screw's hex socket between adjustments for convenience (see photo to the right). An 8-32 setscrew (5/64" hex) secures the replaceable hex bit, which can be reversed if the tip is stripped. Contact Tech Support to order replacement hex key bits. We offer hex key thumbscrews in sizes from 0.050" to 3/16" and 2 mm to 5 mm. | |||||||||||||||||
