Features

  • Mount 95 mm Rails Vertically or Horizontally from an Optical Table or a Base Rail
  • Clearance Slots Provide Imperial and Metric Compatibility
  • Easily Mount Two 95 mm Rails Together

Thorlabs' Breadboard Mounting Adapters for 95 mm Rails are designed to mount a standard 95 mm rail directly to an optical table or breadboard. The XT95P3 Base Plate fastens the rail in the direction orthogonal to the mounting surface while the XT95P13 Construction Clamp fastens the rail parallel to the mounting surface. Clearance slots provide easy positioning and mechanical compatibility with imperial and metric optical tables.

As an alternative to mounting a 95 mm rail parallel to the mounting plane, please consider our One-Sided 95 mm Rails. These rails are designed with clearance slots that accept 1/4"-20 (M6) cap screws, permitting the rails to be bolted directly to an optical table or breadboard.

Thorlabs' product family for 95 mm rails includes angle adapters, leveling feet, and breadboard mounting adapters. In addition, we manufacture mounting platforms and T-Nuts that provide compatibility with standard optomechanics. Together with size adapters that incorporate 66 mm rails into an XT95 setup, these tools provide a complete family of rigid, versatile building blocks suited for virtually any optomechanical setup.

  • Two 2.00" (51 mm) Clearance Slots Provide Imperial and Metric Compatibility
  • Attaches to a Rail End Using Four Included M6 Cap Screws
  • Relief Cut on Bottom Surface Improves Mounting Stability

The XT95P3 Base Plate orients a standard 95 mm rail in the direction orthogonal to the mounting plane, enabling three-dimensional rail constructions. It bolts to the outer M6 taps on the rail end using the four included M6 cap screws. The 2.00" (51 mm) long clearance slots provide easy positioning and mechanical compatibility with imperial and metric optical tables.

  • Mount a 95 mm Rail Horizontally from an Optical Table
    or a Base Rail
  • Four Angled Counterbored Slots Provide Imperial and Metric Compatibility
  • Attaches to a Rail End Using Four M6 Cap Screws
    (Not Included)
  • 1/4"-20 (M6) Locking Cap Screw, 3/16" (5 mm) Hex
  • LT101(/M) Base Plate Provides Accessible Slots when Rail is Attached

This 95 mm Rail Construction Clamp allows a 95 mm rail to be mounted horizontally to an optical table. The clamp can be attached directly to a breadboard surface via 1/4"-20 (M6) cap screws in the four counterbored slots. Once the clamp is in the desired location, a 95 mm rail can be inserted in the clamp and secured by tightening the locking cap screw on the side of the clamp. Note that the mounting slots are not accessible while a rail is in the clamp.

It is also possible to mount the clamp to the end of a 95 mm rail using the rail’s M6 tapped holes, as shown in the image to the far right. In this orientation, the clamp is free to secure another 95 mm rail at a right angle. When mounted on the end of a 95 mm Precision Construction Rail, a set of Ø3.0 mm dowel pin holes can be used to aid in aligning the clamp on the rail (dowel pins not included).

For more flexible breadboard mounting, the clamp is designed for compatibility with the LT101(/M) base plate. The LT101 used in conjunction with the XT95P13(/M) enables the user to reposition the assembly without having to remove the rail from the clamp. This is becasue the LT101 design provides free access to the mounting screws, as shown in the image above. Both the LT101 base plate and the XT95P13 rail clamp have matching Ø0.125" alignment holes for dowel pins (not included) to help ensure that they are orthogonal.
