ST-3PH, ST-3PHB, ST-3PH-INCH-05, ST-3PHB-INCH-05 Post Holders
Aluminium Post Holders 3PH have a precise mounting opening for mounting posts 12 mm (Ø0,5’’ in imperial) in diameter. It provides two lines of contact, thus the position of a precision mounting post becomes definite. A mounting post is locked in position by a screw (included). The post holders 3PH can be mounted to other components using screws, or to breadboards and tables directly using adapters 3AH.
New Original Design of Post Holders 3PHB, which offers more usage convenience and flexibility. This solution was influenced by many requests for more compact optical schemes. Previous design is modified by introducing a slot, which allows clamping post holders to mounting surface using clamps like 3UTC, no additional parts required. Width of post holder with clamp does not exceed 25mm (1").

ST-3TPH-13 Translating Post Holder
Fine post height adjustment within 13 mm without rotation
One rotation of adjustment ring adjusts height of post by 1 mm
High stability position locking
Material: Aluminium
Weight - 0.15 kg
Translation Post Holder 3TPH-13 is used for height adjustment of components mounted on 12 mm posts 3MP or equivalent. Range of coarse height setting is 50 mm. After coarsely setting position, post is locked inside the 12 mm round bore with stable two-line contact using upper thumbscrew with hex socket. Precise height adjustment is then done by a handy knurled adjustment ring. One rotation of the ring moves the post up or down 1 mm to a total of 13 mm. Precise position can be locked using the lower thumbscrew.
M6 threaded hole in the base can be used for attaching directly to optical table, to other positioners or to magnetic bases 3CMB.

Clamps
ST- EXC45 Rotary Clamp
The Rotary Clamp is used to fasten components at random positions where they cannot be fastened directly to the optical table. Screw a post or post holder onto the clamp's knob. Then locate the component at the required position. While the knob is firmly attached to the component, it allows the plate to rotate freely. Position the plate's slot over a tapped hole and screw it down to clutch the knob. The component will remain stable.
Material: steel with chemical black finish.
Weight: 0.08 kg

ST-3TC5 Table Clamp
