The AG-M050NV6 is a compact piezo optical mount designed for 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) optics with vacuum compatibility up to 10⁻⁶ hPa. It features Newport's non-resonant piezo motor providing 50 nm incremental motion and 1 µrad resolution, with set-and-forget stability achieved by spring locking when idle. The mount weighs 25 g, has an angular range of ±2°, and includes a 1.2 m, 4-wire mini-DIN cable. It lacks limit switches and integrated encoder feedback, differing from the AG-M050L and closed-loop variants. Adjustment is free of backlash or hysteresis, and the mounting surface accommodates optics 0.16 to 0.24 in. thick using a 5/64 in. or 2 mm hex set screw.
The AG-M050NV6 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) Vacuum Compatible Agilis™ Optical Mount features Newport’s new, proprietary, non-resonant piezo direct motors. These highly integrated motors are directly coupled to the moving platen. When idle, spring forces lock the mirror’s position for true set and forget long term stability. Agilis mounts have a faster adjustment speed than alternative screw driven designs. In contrast to ultrasonic motors, the Agilis non-resonant motor concept makes small adjustments more predictable with its 50 nm incremental motion capability, ideal for ultra-sensitive optical alignments. Due to the various feed-through configurations and preferences of customers, the connector supplied with the mount is not vacuum compatible. Use with either the Agilis AG-UC2 handheld, AG-UC8 or AG-UC8PC controllers.
Outstanding Adjustment Sensitivity
The Agilis proprietary piezo technology provides 50 nm incremental motion capability, translating to resolutions as small as 1 µrad, making them ideal for ultra-sensitive alignments and optical adjustments.
Set-and-Forget Long-Term Stability
The Agilis piezo motors are directly coupled to the moving optics holder for robust and predictable performance. When idle, the motor spring force locks the mirror in place, providing true set and forget stability. Agilis mounts also have a fast adjustment speed and are free of issues associated with backlash or hysteresis.
