Top Adjustable Mirror Mount

[andy_con]

heavy handed is the best way to test stability

just received the new springs, I'm hoping this is the final element of the project. it would be nice to put it to bed and move onto other things

[andy_con]

new springs arrived and the top adjustable mirror mount is finished






ive also been working on another spring loaded mount the adjustments from the back. this is a normal 10mm wide mount.

I once used a few nylon washers instead of springs.
Your mounts is very usable but too thick for compact modules )))
Do you use some kind paste or grease for screws?

[andy_con]

the top adjustable is only 14mm wide, 25mm long and 26mm high, so its not big

the other one is the same size as a brass flex mount

don't understand what you mean about grease for screws?

don't understand what you mean about grease for screws?

I have noticed that over time the aluminum sticks to the screws, if alloy without T mark

[andy_con]

oh ok, which screws are you referring to?

how does it stick to a screw, do you mean the thread of a screw?

[Bbe]

I mean the adjustment screws of course ))

how does it stick to a screw, do you mean the thread of a screw?

yes, prestressed threaded connections need lubrication if they adjustable. Some brass alloys contains graphite for this

[andy_con]

if the ally sticks to the thread of the adjustment screws then surely that locks things in place ;-)

Never mind, I just carp

[andy_con]

lol, to be honest I don't think ive ever had ally stick to the thread of a screw. im not saying it doesn't ive just not had it
