It moves on smooth roller bearing runners and has a coupling on the drawer slide, allowing for removal of the drawer from the housing. The drawer features a central bulkhead, which splits the area in half.

The unit is supplied with eight screws for attaching the drawer to the table frame using a 13 mm or adjustable wrench. The drawer unit can be attached directly to our 1 m (3') deep optical table frame and contains adjustable support rails to accommodate deeper 1.2 m (4') or 1.5 m (4.8') optical tables frames.

The UTD002 drawer divider kit is provided to allow the user to build smaller storage bins. As shown to the right, it is comprised of two plastic pieces that span the depth of the drawer and two that span half the width. The dividers can be moved and interlocked to build different arrangements. They can also be cut into smaller lengths to build custom bin sizes.

Rear View of the MPT01 Storage Tray, Showing the Ø3.25" (Ø82.5 mm) Magnet

• 6" (152.0 mm) Diameter, 1.2" (31.0 mm) Deep Bowl with Pivoting Plastic Cowl
• Contents Retained Magnetically
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction
• Protective Rubber Cover on Magnet Prevents Marring of Mounting Surface

This Magnetic Storage Tray is ideal for storing small tools, cap screws, and other fasteners securely. The tray can be magnetically held horizontally or vertically to any ferrous surface such as an optical table or breadboard. When attached to a vertical surface, a plastic cowl holds nonmagnetic or loose items as shown to the right. The cowl pivots and clips in place at the upper and lower ends of travel to prevent accidental movement.

A rubber cover on the Ø3.25" (Ø82.5 mm) magnet protects the mounting surface from damage. The magnet serves two purposes; it attaches the tray to the ferrous surface and holds magnetic parts within the tray.

The rack contains two rows of slots for flexible positioning of the four included plastic storage bins, as shown in the image to the left. Hinged clamps are used for placement on the posts, as shown in the image to the right. Simply slide the shelf along the post to the desired height above the work surface and then secure it using the clamps.

The PSY155/S is 950 mm wide, while the PSY156/S is 1250 mm wide. The trays can be supported by two 750 mm or 1000 mm tall posts (sold separately) that can be attached to the workstation's front or rear lean bars. Two overhead trays can be mounted onto a single set of mounting posts.

Each storage tray comes with two hinged clamps for attachment to mounting posts, as shown in the image to the right. To install the tray, secure the clamps at the desired height on the posts.

The PSY320 and PSY320/S Component Trays can be used to hold a variety of items, such as screws, hex keys, or other tools, near the working surface. A 12.7 mm (0.50") high lip on the four edges prevents parts from falling off of the tray, while the 300 mm x 300 mm (11.81" x 11.81") surface provides adequate space to hold needed tools. Each tray comes with a PSY322 Hinged Locking Clamp, shown to the right, to attach it to Ø1.5" mounting posts. Its design allows the tray to be installed anywhere on the post without removing the existing shelves. The clamp will hold the vertical position on the post while allowing for free rotational movement around the axis of the post.

A 750 mm (29.5") tall post is included with the PSY320 tray to attach directly to the lean bars of the optical table frame system. If additional trays are needed we offer the PSY320/S, which do not include mounting posts. These additional trays are also ideal if you wish to use our 1000 mm (39.4") tall mounting posts (sold separately) instead of the 750 mm (29.5") tall posts provided with the PSY320, or if you wish to attach the tray to the TFA4 Overhead Shelf Post Adapter.

Locking Clamp Positioned Under Our PSY321 Breadboard Mounting Bracket, Holding it in Place and Allowing for Free Rotation of the Bracket

• Retain the Position of Ø1.5" Post Mounted Accessories
• Hinged Clamp Design Allows for Installation Without Removing Existing Shelves

Thorlabs PSY322 Hinged Locking Clamps are the ideal solution for preventing the unwanted movement of accessories along the axis of the post. Locking the clamp in place (5 mm hex key included) directly under a post-mounted accessory, as shown to the right, prevents the accessory from sliding down the post when it is loosened for adjustments. This also allows mounted shelving or brackets to be freely rotated around the axis of the post to a needed position at any time.
