Edmund Optics Releases New S-Mounts for Small Optics Offering Short Working Distance for Optimal Performance
|
Edmund Optics® (EO), provider of optical components, introduces S-Mounts to its popular line of C&T Mounts. These eight product lines include lens mounts, tubes, spacers and S-to-C adapters to accommodate a wide variety of end uses.
Smaller footprint with adjustable thickness
The new S-Mounts are designed to integrate smaller optics ranging from 3 mm
to 12.5 mm in diameter allowing for a smaller system footprint. The S-Mounts
are approximately half the diameter of a C-Mount, which has an inner diameter
of 25.4 mm and an outer diameter of 30 mm. Unlike C-mounts, S-mounts are not
designed with a fixed thickness. Amr Khalil, Product Line Manager, Edmund
Optics explained, “Taking advantage of this benefit, Edmund Optics was
able to optimize the mount thickness based on optic size, hence maximizing
the efficiency of an S-mount optical assembly.”
Ideal for micro-video lenses and board level camera mounts
EO’s S-Mounts are based on an imaging industry standard mount. The S-Mounts
are threaded for M12 x 0.5 mm mounting, commonly used for micro-video lenses
and board level camera mounts. Manufactured from an anodized aluminum material,
specific S-Mount measurements include an inner diameter of 12 mm, a thread
pitch of 2 threads/mm, and an outer diameter of 16 mm.
