Standard Pedestal Posts
Pedestal posts provide the most stable means to mount optics to a platform due to the single-unit construction and fork-clamp mounting. Our solid stainless steel pedestal posts are 26mm in diameter and are available in heights from 12.5 to 76.2 mm. Heights are not only in standard imperial increments but also in standard metric increments as well. All are available with imperial (8-32) or metric (M4) threads and also include a male/male thread adapter: 8-32 to 1/4-20 for imperial pedestals and M4 to M6 for metric versions. Our pedestal posts are also available in vacuum compatible versions as well, however, if one of our many catalog pedestal posts does not meet your requirements, just send us a request for a custom version.

Pedestal BasesSKU : PST 0Pedestal Bases can be mounted directly on a vibration isolator or laboratory bench using clamps. They are ideal for flexible positioning of optical units with low optical axis. Learn More -
Kinematic Flip BasesSKU : FMB 0FMB Kinematic Flip Bases can be flipped just over 90 degrees to allow a mirror mount to be removed from a beam path. Because FMBs have a kinematic mechanism, they can be flipped back into position without losing alignment (within a few arc seconds). They are designed to be mounted to PED-series pedestal posts or standard RO-series 12.7mm posts. Learn More -
Clamps for Pedestal/Post-HoldersSKU : PSC - PSCA - PSCS 1Clamps for Pedestal Bases (PST) and Post-Holders (BRS/RS) can secure Pedestals freely about a tapped hole on a vibration isolator or laboratory bench.
The PSTM is used to add a pedestal base to standard Post Holders with M16 Threads. This allows the Post Holders to be freely positioned like a Pedestal. Learn More -
