Clamp dimensions
- Precision cylinder designed to hold Ø 80 µm to Ø 250 µm fibersa
- Mountable on metric and imperial optical table via the plate adapter.
- Adjustable force on the fiber is applied with a screw at the front of the clamp.
a Different clamps are used for different fibers. See complete model options for all the information.
