012-06551A Basic Optics Linear Translator Introduction The PASCO OS-8535 Linear Translator is designed to be mounted on the Optics Bench of the OS-8515 Basic Optics System. The Linear Translator can also be mounted on a rod up to 0.5 inch (12 mm) diameter. Description The Linear Translator consists of a base with mounting hardware and an attached rod clamp, a rack, and a rack clamp. The hole in the base allows it to be stored on a peg.
Basic Optics Linear Translator 012-06551A Pependicular Mount To mount the Linear Translator so the Rack is perpendicular, leave the mounting hardware (thumbscrew and square nut) in the center hole. Loosen the thumbscrew by turning the thumbscrew counter-clockwise while holding the square nut. Leave the square nut on the end of the thumbscrew. Attach the base to the Optics Bench by inserting the square nut into the T-slot located along the center of the Optics Bench.
012-06551A Basic Optics Linear Translator When the Rack is in the T-slot, put the Rack Clamp back onto the Rack and tighten its thumbscrew. Place the Rack with the sensor back onto the Linear Translator. The back end of the Rotary Motion Sensor rests on the upright edge of the base of the Linear Translator. Line up the holes in the ends of the Rack with the holes on the Linear Translator base. Put the thumbscrews into the holes and turn them clockwise to tighten.
