Smooth, Low-Friction Fiber Rotator
Designed for 1/4" Fiber Chucks
RMS-Threaded Mounting Feature Enables Incorporation into Existing Mounts
Three Nylon-Tipped Set Screws Secure the Fiber Chuck
The HFR001 Fiber Chuck Rotator is designed to hold a standard 1/4" fiber chuck such as the HFC005 presented above and allows continuous rotation through 360°. It has a male RMS thread, which when mounted in a microscope objective mount (HCS013), can be secured to the top plate of one of our multi-axis flexure stages or fixed brackets. The phosphor-bronze and Teflon bearing in the fiber chuck rotator provides smooth, low-friction rotation for precise angular orientation of a polarization-maintaining fiber. The lateral offset during rotation is typically less than 20 µm; this relatively small offset allows a single mode fiber at Ø1.5 µm to be rotated by
