Description

These 38.1mm diameter rods provide much more stable and rigid support than standard posts, and allow easy long range height adjustments. Rods are made with ground finish in stainless steel tubing, with or without racks for use with pinion-drive carriers.

All rods have an M6 male base thread which can either be screwed directly into breadboards, stages etc. or used to attach the slotted base 10 RM 00, for more flexibility in positioning. However, for rods with racks we recommend using the base, which allows the rack to be aligned in the required direction. An M6 female thread in the top of the rod allows rods to be stacked for greater heights. (Rods with racks should not be stacked together, since the racks will not align.)

Note that brackets 15 RM 00 can be used to mount any of the above rods parallel to the base so permitting a horizontal rod system as illustrated below. This arrangement can be useful for travelling microscopes and similar uses.
