Product Description
These Lansing gimbal mountings are capable of holding optics or mirrors up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The mounting ring has three threaded holes on both the front and rear faces. The lens would be retained either by a pair annular rings or by small tabs at each of the thread locations. These will need to be provisioned separately they are not included with the mount.
The other unusual feature on this mount is that the setting spindles for the azimuth and elevation are 2 inch range of motion, but only a small portion of this range may he employed. The spindles are engraved Lansing, so they are the original spindles. I can only surmise they were employed so the mount could be manipulated well away from the optic axis.
Optic axis height 2.25 inches
Base width 4 inches
Base length 4 inches
Range of motion at least plus or minus 5 degrees
Graduated 2 inch micrometer spindles
The mounts are in excellent condition and fully functional. Magnetic bearing pads keep the gimbal mounting rings in contact with the anvil of the setting spindle micrometer.
