Pedestal Posts and Accessories

Pedestal Posts and Accessories offer a stable way to mount optical components to a lab table with a consistent mounting height, providing predictable and repeatable mounting of components within an optical system. A variety of pedestal extenders and shim plates are available to ensure that the optical axis height is consistent for all mounted components. Pedestal Posts feature M4 x 0.7 or 8-32 tapped holes on the top surface, compatible with TECHSPEC® Kinematic Mounts, E-Series Kinematic Mounts, Compact Mirror Mounts, and many other optical mounts. M6 x 1.0 or ¼”-20 tapped holes on the bottom surface make these Pedestal Posts directly mountable to Edmund Optics stages and breadboards. For more compact table mounting, use the Compact Mounting Clamps (#16-335).

Note: Optical Mount Adapters are available to ensure consistent optical axis height and mounting hole compatibility with Edmund Optics’ Optical Mounts. Refer to the Technical Information tab to find the right adapter for your application.
